Extroversion In American Culture

According to Furnham, Eracleous, and Chamorro-Premuzic, introverted individuals are motivated to avoid being punished (2009). I am able to relate to this because I am always afraid that I will not be able to meet my financial needs including being able to pay for housing transportation and clothing. One thing that helps me is that on several occasions I have had jobs that might have been a better fit for an extraverted personality. "Introverted intuitives learn how to model extroverted behavior in order to succeed." (Nadel, 2008) This has allowed me to have jobs that might have been better performed by an extravert and to be successful. I think I was able to do this because I was motivated to do the job so that I would be able to meet my Physiological and Safety needs.

Conformity wouldn’t be so bad if what there was to conform to was positive. In this great land of the free and home of the Big Mac, forgive me for not putting my admiration or faith into the general public. The society we live in is built on hate and oppression. It dates back all the way to the genocide of the native population by the European invaders----excuse me, “settlers” that allowed this country to be established in the first place, and the slavery that allowed this country’s economy to start up and prosper. Institutionalized racism continues to be prevalent in everyday life; articles on police brutality from twenty years ago might as well have been written last week. Ethnic minorities are targeted and shot down in the streets; young

The Book Quiet challenges cultural Biases for and against extroversion and Introversion. The book focuses on the different personality types, and how each type has its positive and negative effects. Introverts are generally people who are often more reserved, contemplative and passive. In the U.S, The extrovert personality is dominant. Assertiveness, charisma, social dominance reflects a superior type of person.

Beginning in the 1950s, the culture of the American people transitioned from a period of differing personalities and work patterns during World War II into a decade of strict conformity common to American society. The aftermath of the war created a postwar culture that pressured American society into adopting a lifestyle of middle class affluence. American people that aspired to this ideal typically went through school, married their high-school sweetheart, obtained a middle class job, produced many children, and grew old and died. Although many American citizens were conditioned to follow these cultural norms, a group of counterculture activists, including the “Beatnik culture,” arose in this time of social conformity. J.D. Salinger, a

Extroverts in today’s society are idolized, and people associate different positive characteristics such as attractiveness and intelligence with extroverts. That misconception has caused many introverts to try and become more extroverted in order to fit in with society. However, the book Quiet by Susan Crain informs that introverts posses many strong traits like leadership or intelligence and therefore can be viewed just as highly as extroverts.

My career assessment test for the personality results show that I am, INFJ that is indicated as I- Introverted: tend to be inwardly focused, drawing energy from contemplation, ideas and reflection. It stated I was sixty-seven percent introverted and about thirty-three percent extroverted. My assessment test mentions that I would tend to be more inwardly directly in my emotional focus, and concentrating more on my own thoughts and ideas than on outer motivations. It says I will attract energy from within, meaning from a personal inspiration, thoughts and or reflection. Usually, introverts might be considered more quiet and withdrawn than extroverts, who tend to be very talkative and social. I feel that is somewhat true about me, because sometimes

If given a choice, I would spend most of my time either alone or strictly with those in my inner circle (which consists of 3-4 people). I blame my introversion. Although I can be outgoing in some situations, it drains every ounce of energy that I have. For example, my co-workers and students view me as somewhat outgoing, but in reality, I’ve given them everything that I have. When I walk in my front door after work, I am absolutely drained and I’m usually asleep within the hour.

The first subset of my personality is Extraversion, as opposed to Introversion. As an extrovert, I would describe myself as social, external and gregarious. This characteristic helps me communicate and reach out to others. However, there are cons that go along

Satisfaction with life a very useful measure to understand whether or not one needs to change their ways of life in order to be more fulfilled. The purpose of the study is to extrapolate the correlation between satisfaction with life and extroversion, satisfaction with life and fear of negative evaluation, and satisfaction with life and mate-seeking. For satisfaction with life, I used the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and SPSS was employed to statically evaluate the results. The results indicate that satisfaction with life is positively correlated

I utilize the traits of extroversion with my friends and family by being an extremely social person. I am very easy for people to get to know. I am not closed-off and detached like introverts. I am a very open-minded person, and am willing to express my feeling, thoughts and desires without hesitation.

I am also a huge component of small talking when first meeting someone, it is a way that can help you start to build a relationship with others. In the end I do not have to come best friends with the person, but being able to network myself, and build acquaintances will help me not only in my personal life but in my professional career as well. Finally, as an extrovert I use social setting as a means of energy for myself. I am always up to going to social gathering, and group outings and the more people the better.

1. There are many factors that can contribute to the way we act or the way we choose to view things in life. I would describe my personality as independent, hard working, and optimistic. In my opinion, I think the factor that influences my personality the most is the birth order. I am a middle child in my family and so I would always try my best in everything I do to get my parents attention. Therefore, since middle school, I would always work extra hard to get the attention I desperately want from my parents. Being independent is also something that I consider an influence of being a middle child in my family. With my parents mainly focusing on my older and younger siblings, I've learned to do things and figure things out on my own. Having an optimistic

According to many psychologists and other social experts, there exist two major social behaviors that are widely adopted globally by a person as they mature into young adulthood: extraversion or introversion. Extroverts are expressive individuals who appear to be energized and enjoy seeking activities that involve socialization with others where as a reserved individual (introvert) prefers solitary pursuits where he or she often partakes in a favorite pastime. In her novel Introvert Power: Why Your Inner Life is Your Hidden Strength, Laurie Helgoe statistically explores the fact that more than one half of the American populace claims to be reticent and encourages those folks to embrace their natural selves (“Book Details” 1). Introverts

And lastly the Executive; Assertive and outspoken - they are driven to lead. Excellent ability to understand difficult organizational problems and create solid solutions. Intelligent and well-informed, they usually excel at public speaking. They value knowledge and competence, and usually have little patience with inefficiency or disorganization. I am not just a “hermit” but a collection of different personality types that have some over lapping characteristics such as being a logical thinker, who values and consumes vast amounts of information and in turn I apply that information to daily life in an effort to bring meaning and understanding to problems both with myself and the world in general. It is also incredibly hard to get to know me and I prefer to be alone. A characteristic of an extrovert. Or more precise the personality traits of an extrovert, since the words personality type is sort of ambiguous and no one fits perfectly into either one, but leans more towards one than another. I am physically and psychologically drained by social gatherings. Introverts are the opposite and become charged with energy at say a Thanksgiving Day gathering. I prefer to be alone and I spend my time alone doing things that make me happy, which is researching, reading, talking to other’s online about

Also, extroverted people tend to act impulsively without thinking of consequences. An introverted person will think about his or her actions before committing to them (Extroversion). After taking the Myers-Briggs test, I discovered that I had an extroverted personality (Flynn). This is very prevalent in my job, as well as school. While I benefit from some time to myself, I enjoy working with groups of people. If I must choose between conducting a project on my own or with a group, I will usually pick the group. I also have a job that requires working with large groups of children. While some individuals may find such a large group overwhelming, I find it easy and comfortable. Another indicator of my extroverted personality is my tendency to act on impulse. Many times, I will enroll in classes before I take the time to see if I need them or will do well in them. I also make choices without considering consequences. Last semester, I chose to skip class to attend other events. While friends thought it made me a fun, flexible person, I ended up failing my class due to absences. Being introverted and extroverted both have their positive and negative qualities, but I typically benefit from my outgoing personality.
