− | '''Extraversion''' is "the act, state, or [[habit]] of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining [[gratification]] from what is outside [[the self]]". Extraverts tend to [[enjoy]] human [[interactions]] and to be [[enthusiastic]], talkative, assertive, and gregarious. They take [[pleasure]] in activities that involve large [[social]] gatherings, such as parties, [[community]] activities, [[public]] [[demonstrations]], and business or [[political]] groups. [[Politics]], [[teaching]], sales, managing and brokering are fields that favor extraversion. An extraverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent [[alone]]. They tend to be energized when around other people, and they are more prone to [[boredom]] when they are by themselves.
