When I think about the difference between an introvert and an extrovert, I think the…
A disadvantage of falling on the extreme end of extraversion would be impulsiveness, the fact that the high extravert acts before thinking, and that they fail to learn from a mistake before moving on to the next thing. An advantage would be that they are socially dominant, have a good self-image, and have more positive than negative feelings and attitudes about life. An advantage for falling on the high end of openness to experience would be that they are very imaginative and innovative; however, some people would think that this is a disadvantage. I do not. Another advantage is that they reject or question stereotypical attitudes, complex, and non-conforming (McAdams, p185). A disadvantage would be people’s perception of them and absorption. Someone scoring high in absorption may become so wrapped up in their imagination that they lose themselves. An advantage of conscientiousness would be that they are hard-workers, very responsible and reliable, well-organized, and persistent all of which employers and friends value. A disadvantage would be that they are not very spontaneous, and they may seem overly cautious. Another disadvantage may be that they are predictable; however, like all of the advantages and disadvantages of the clusters, it depends on someone’s perception of what they think are good qualities and what they think are bad qualities.…
The Briggs Myers four personality trait dimensions are one way to categorize the personality types of different people. According to Briggs and Myers, there are four categories in which your personality type is determined. Each category has two options: Introversion versus extraversion, sensing versus intuition, thinking versus feeling, and judging versus perceiving. First I will focus on the “introvert versus extrovert” category. An introverted person is typically more focused on their inner world and they prefer focusing in depth on specific interests. Writing tends to be the preferred method of communication for an introvert. They may also be more private and enjoy reflecting on ideas. An extrovert, on the other hand, is more attuned to…
Individuals are motivated by a diverse realm of reasons. Within the motivation theory, the ability to distinguish between introverts and extroverts can be easily determined. Often gregarious outgoing individuals shine in social settings. If we use the Big Five Model, as a guide to distinguish introverts and extroverts, gauging neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness we can more openly identify with which side of our personality best represents us and individuals. It is a tool that is important when diagnosing an patient in therapeutic settings.…
Extroverts tend to tackle assignments quickly, make rash decisions, do multitasking, are risk takers, like money and status. They are the people who are the life of the party and love to laugh and talk.…
This is true, because I love movies like The Notebook, Walk the Line, and Atonement. Carolyn Kalil’s True Colors Personality Quiz has taught me that I am more adventurous and restless than serious and punctual. The Learning Styles Inventory and Learning Styles Descriptions by Solomon and Felder has taught me that I am a reflective, sensing, visual, learner. As a reflective learner, I prefer to learn by myself at first to make sure that I understand the material. It is also extremely hard for me to get through a lecture where all I do is take notes. I am not able to sit and memorize the material, I have to read the information over and over again. I also like being able to get up and do things during class. I am also a sensing learner, which means that I like learning the clear cut facts and solving problems with the best given method. In high school, I was best at history, because it was memorizing facts. There were no theories that would hinder my learning process. I also liked calculus, because I was able to solve the problems with the best given methods and I could do them step by step. The best way for me to learn is to relate the material to the real…
By recognising which group of learning style you belong to can benefit your personal development in many ways. I found out that I am auditory learner, rather than a visual or kinaesthetic learner. This means that I prefer and will work more efficiently through instructions and orders by my teachers or peers. It also means that I am quite able to remain focussed and attentive whilst I am being told what to do. Throughout this project, the fact that I was aware of my learning style improved my contribution and performance to the group. Whilst working in my group, I had to improve my confidence and communication skills. Because of my preference in auditory learning,…
My personality type is INTJ. I am 78% introvert, 25% intuitive, 12% thinking, and 56% judging, (www.humanmetrics.com, 2011). I found the test to be accurate and agreed with the results. Introverts are perfectionists that have a high level of confidence. Most introverts are logical thinkers that open their minds to all possibilities. “INTJs are ideal people. They think anything is possible and everything is negotiable, (www.humanmetrics.com, 2011). I possess this introvert quality. I believe that there are always exceptions to rules.…
The authors suggested that you use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, but the results must be interpreted by someone who is trained to use this type of system. However, the authors present a two step process that has helped people find their type. The first step is called the four dimensions of personality type. This means how we engage in the world, where we focus our energy, they type of information we notice, and how w make decisions, and whether we like to live organized or spontaneous. The book broke all this information into dimensions listed as such: extraversion/introversion, sensing/intuition, thinking/feeling, and judging/perceiving. Extraverts are people who choose the outer world and Introverts are people who choose the inner world. The book makes it a point to emphasize that these terms and definitions given of these personality types are not intended to be used as they are in everyday life. For example, when the word introvert is used, most people automatically think of someone that is extremely quiet. The same goes for extravert; one immediately assumes that this particular person is very talkative. However, when these words are used…
My personality type is very outgoing and optimistic. I am always eager to learn new things and experiment when it comes to different learning techniques. I know that with over the course of years when going to school it has helped me become successful in my courses. The strength of my personality is great because I will not stop going over a lesson until I grasp the full concept. If there is something that I am not understanding I will keep trying until I full understand the course work that needs to be done.…
My personality is extravert, sensing, thinking, and judging. After reading about the personality that I have, it made me aware that I actually do fit into most of these attributes. Being an extravert, some of my strengths are being able to initiate conversation and activities easily, not being hesitant to interact with people and make new friends, not being afraid to voice my opinion and what is on my mind, and working well with groups. All of these are ways in which I distribute the positive energy that I have, which is another strength of being an extravert. Along with the strengths of being an extravert there are weaknesses.…
My primary learning style is social. My learning style is an 8 for social, a 7 for physical and solitary, a 6 for aural, logical and visual and 4 for verbal. Having a social learning style means that I communicate well with…
I found my personality spectrum to be true of whom I am as an individual person. I understand psychology as a self-portrait of us and this allowed me to be exposed and confirmed my personality. I am a prodigious thinker because I love to solve problems while exploring new ideas and potentials. When I look back as a child I was very analytical and always kept to myself on figuring problems. This can establish well with math, science, or psychology in a field that I would never be bored of. I realize that when I think, I space out and find truth and this will always apply in my everyday tasks. I like to hear questions given time to figure out in my manner of learning.…
I tend to be introverted, but it is not always the case. I am not comfortable in a large group of people I do not know and will far more often than not resort to being an introvert. This changes for me though if I am in group of family members or friends. I would not go too far as to say that I am an extrovert in those situations and surroundings, but I am far from an introvert and feel confident in saying that I am closer to being an extrovert than an introvert if I am comfortable with the large majority of people I am spending time…
People often speak of personalities and how different people have different personalities. These differing personalities lead to a variety of personal preferences and ideas and views. Two common different personality traits that most people choose to categorize themselves as are introversion and extraversion. Introversion, or introverts as we call people who manifest this trait, is when a person is more "inward turning", focusing on emotions and thoughts rather than external stimulation (Cherry, n.d.). Extraverts/extroverts are very sociable and gregarious and enjoy being around other people (Cherry, n.d.).…
