Everyone knows that in psychology people are divided into extroverts and introverts. The former prefer a noisy and active life, while the latter prefer peace and solitude. If everything is more or less clear with the term "extrovert", then what is extrovertedness? You will learn about this from this article.
Extroversion: Definition
The definition of this term may seem surprising to people who are not familiar with psychology. So, extroversion is the focus of attention outward. We are talking here not only about a person with an extroverted character (temperament, psychotype), but about attention as such. For example, introverts also know how to extrovert their attention, otherwise they simply would not be able to survive in this world.
Features of extraverted attention
Extroverted attention is characterized by its focus on the objects of the outside world, people, surrounding space. If introverted attention can be associated with things like internal dialogue,constant reflections and thoughtfulness ("walking in the clouds"), then with his extrovertization, a person's gaze and his thoughts immediately begin to "cling" to everything that surrounds him. He becomes collected, active, active. Maintaining extraverted attention is essential in any profession in which mindfulness, focus on external objects, composure and sociability are important. Toastmaster, PR manager, athlete are extroverted professions that require constant "inclusion" of a person in the surrounding reality.
Extroverted nature
People with this character are called extroverts. Their attention is almost always focused on the outside world, people, environment, material objects. Such people have a lively mobile look, rich facial expressions, and a quick gait. They are more doers than thinkers. Sometimes they lack self-understanding and depth of feelings, thoughts, because their intellect is not reflective, it has a purely practical and communicative orientation.
Such people make excellent entertainers, athletes and speakers, but useless thinkers, intellectuals, legislators. This is their social niche. However, it is worth noting that now we are not talking about extroverts as such, but about people with an extremely extroverted character, literally living in the outside world and completely forgetting about the inner world. Excessive extraversion, like excessive introversion, is an aberration.
