THE FUSE

The trait of extroversion-introversion is probably the most recognizable personality characteristic for members of the general public. As a result, there are many common stereotypes and biases about this core personality construct. Many see extroversion as advantageous because extroverts are friendly, outgoing, and sociable. In fact, these beliefs about this particular personality trait have become part of our everyday language (“He’s the life of the party — a real extrovert!” “I’ve got to go home and recharge because I’m an introvert.”).
