Extroversion is one of the major personality traits in many theories, including the Big Five model. An extrovert is a person who is energized by being around other people. Key characteristics include:
Sociable and Outgoing: Extroverts enjoy social gatherings, parties, and group activities. They are often talkative and friendly.
Assertive: They tend to be confident and are comfortable taking charge in social situations.
Action-Oriented: Extroverts often enjoy being active and engaged in the external world. They may prefer action over contemplation.
Enthusiastic and Expressive: They often display positive emotions openly and are typically seen as cheerful and optimistic.
Seeks Stimulation: They thrive on excitement and stimulation from their environment and may get bored when alone.
This trait exists on a continuum, with introversion (being energized by solitude) at the opposite end.
