Characteristics Of Extraversion In English Language

1531 Words7 Pages

English language has become the second language in Pakistan in order to have contact with people from other countries. Learning English Language as a second language is not easy as it needs a lot of practice and exercises. According to Carl Jung’s people personality can be classified into 3 criteria which are extraversion-introversion, sensing-intuition and thinking-feeling. However, in this research, only one criterion will be studied which is extraversion-introversion. The trait of extraversion–introversion is a central dimension of human personality theories. The terms introversion and extraversion were first popularized by Carl Jung, although both the popular understanding and psychological age differ from his original intent. Extraversion tends to be manifested in outgoing, talkative, energetic behavior, whereas introversion is manifested in more reserved and solitary behavior. Extraversion and introversion are typically viewed as a single continuum. Thus, to be high on one it is necessary to be low on the other. Carl Jung and the authors of the Myers–Briggs provide a different perspective and suggest that everyone has both an extraverted side and an introverted side, with one being more dominant than the other. Rather than focusing on interpersonal behavior, however, Jung defined introversion as an "attitude-type characterized by orientation in life through subjective psychic contents" (focus on one 's inner psychic activity); and extraversion as "an attitude type

    Extroverts can be some of the best people you meet. They have plenty to offer and thrive at the attention of others. However, being introverted can be just as great. In a society where being extroverted is the ideal, it can be very difficult to be an introvert. Susan Cain argues in her Ted Talk, “The Power of Introverts”, that introverts can share many brilliant ideas with the world and should be encouraged and celebrated for who they are.

    According to Jung, having an inclination towards being more of an introverted individual then extraverted, is when the person prefers to be more independent than social. I think that this indeed can reflect to one of my character traits. For instance, I tend to like spending more time either reading the Holy Bible, or listening to calm music in my room, instead of going out to party on Saturday nights. I believe that I could have probably been influenced by my mother, who would always be in her room reading the Holy Scriptures and she’s the one who introduced it to me , and would read it to me throughout my childhood until I was able to read it and understand it myself.

  • Ten Reasons Why Introverts Are Introvertly Attractive People

    10 Reasons Why Introverts Are Incredibly Attractive People Thanks to our extrovert-centric culture people often overlook or have a wrong impression of introverts. This isn’t helped by the fact that popular culture is fond of portraying introverted people as socially awkward, shy, aloof, strange, distant or even disinterested. In fact, this trope is so common that some introverts even think that there is something wrong with them if they are not as extroverted as their friends. However, the truth is that introverts can be every bit as charming and likeable as people who are extroverts, they just don’t draw as much attention to themselves.

    According to my big 5 results, I scored 13 points in Extraversion, 30 points in Agreeableness, 36 points in Conscientiousness, 34 points in Neuroticism, and 33 points in Openness. The reason why I scored really low in Extraversion than the four others is because I don’t have much of a will power for socializing with other. I meanly keep to myself in school and I reality leave the house since I don’t like being around a lot of people. I am a huge introvert when it comes to staying quiet which isn’t a good thing since we live in a social environment but I am more comfortable being alone then being among a lot of people.

  • Extraversion And Introversion, By Blaine Landis Of University College London

    In this article by Blaine Landis of University College London (UCL), he tackles the relationship between a person’s extraversion or introversion and the amount of money they spend on high-status categories and low-status categories. This article sparked my interest because we all have some experience with such a matter and we can relate to it easily. For me, coming from a third world country in which the middle class is close to nonexistent, there are only two extremes, this might increase the frequency of such behavior and the effects might be even exacerbated. The hypothesis was very well tested, using 718 bank customers and having their bank account data from the last 12 months (Landis, 2017), so they not only had the verbal data of the

    Jung’s (1923) idea about extroversion-introversion was the starting point for more scientific investigation in the personality traits domain in the early twentieth century. Jung proposed the “duality” in human personality. He distinguished two schools of thought in philosophy, namely idealists and realists and claimed that idealist consider the subject of perception as a base for knowledge while realists believe that the object of perception is the base of knowledge. Having studied the background of these schools of thought, Jung claimed that a comprise exists between philosophy and psychology in which realists are more extroverts while idealists are more introverts. He further differentiated these two distinctions by characteristics that identify
