This document discusses the differences between extroverts and introverts. Extroverts are described as gregarious, assertive, excitement-seeking individuals who gain energy from interacting with others. Introverts prefer fewer social interactions and receive more stimulation from internal feelings than external sources. Both personality types have biological and psychological traits that influence their behaviors, such as how their brains respond to dopamine. While extroversion can increase risk-taking, both dimensions have benefits and everyone has their own style.
2. Are you unaware of undisclosed aspects of your
personality whether you are an introvert or an
extrovert? There are mainly two different types of
people in the world. One who speaks a lot and
prefers getting attention. Second, those who prefer
speaking less and like talking only with selected
people. Experts characterised people as extroverts
and introverts. Let us discuss both these personality
dimensions in detail.
Identifying your Personality
3. Who Is an Extrovert?
Extroverts are those who possess an expressive pattern of behaviour
and social interaction. They are supposed to be gregarious, assertive,
warm, active, and excitement-seeking in nature.
They easily make friends and are often described as action-oriented
and enthusiastic.
Studies also have found they find it difficult to spend time alone. Their
risk-taking behaviours usually land them in difficult situations.

4. Biological Reasons: Extrovert nature of a person is also said to be
associated with both cortical arousal and the dopaminergic
system. Lower levels of cortical arousal and lower dopaminergic
responsiveness found in extroverts are evaluated to describe their
excessive need for activity and excitement. The extraversion
aspect of an extrovert person is largely connected to a wide range
of human behaviors, including academic achievements, official
performance, risk-taking tendencies, and others.
Biological Reason
5. Psychological Traits: Extroverts comprehend some psychological
traits as well, which benefit them more than other activities. A few
of them are as follows:
-Gain energy by talking to others
-Maintain a wide social network
-Prefer teamwork instead of individual efforts
-Like enjoying outside home
-Possess a great desire to participate in social events
Psychological Traits
6. The most beneficial aspect of being an extrovert is you are
less prone to develop certain psychological disorders.
On the contrary, extraversion also becomes a possible
factor to cause impulsivity, overconfidence, recklessness,
and other problem-causing habits.
Benefits of being an extrovert
7. Introvert
An introvert person considers internal feelings over external sources of
stimulation. Being an introvert does not mean that you do not want to socialize
with people around or become anxious in the presence of other people. It is just
about being in a circle of limited people.
8. Introverts receive higher blood flow at the frontal lobe in
comparison with extroverts. This area in the brain is
responsible for helping people remember things, find solutions
to problems and plan. Introvert and extrovert brains react
differently to dopamine (a chemical that turns on while
receiving an award or drawing pleasure from something).
Biological Reason
9. Introverts prefer not to spend lots of time talking with people. They
generally choose to be around people with whom they are
associated that too for meaningful conversations.
Both personality dimensions have their own characteristics. Think
before you assume the next time you interact with someone who
behaves or functions differently from you; everyone has their own
style of doing things.
