Extraversion and introversion

1. Theory & Theorists: The theory of Natural Crime was further developed by William Sheldon. He believed that an individual’s physical appearance could determine the individual’s future criminal activity. The theory stated that a person could be classified into one of three categories; Endomorphs, Ectomorphs, Mesomorphs. First, Endomorphs were believed to have a body frame that allowed them to put on weigh much easier. They also had a viscerotonic temperament and an extroverted personality which…

Our personality can reflect in our actions, words, surroundings and even our inaction. One can piece together a person's background via their personality, for humans this is second nature. When the movie first shows us Jamal and his room you can tell what kind of person he is, as it shows us piles of books, a basketball and the quality of his living conditions tells us things like income. Same for Forrester you see a man who's rumored not to leave his home and watches people from his window, you…

Psychiatrist: physicians who diagnose, treat, and help prevent disorders of the mind (www.typefocus.com/occupations/occupation_details/NDY4). I think that the empathetic personality trait would be beneficial in this line of work. Understanding how and why people are feeling and thinking a certain way, and helping them overcome that, is one thing I think I could definitely see myself doing. Although, being empathetic could also cause a challenge. Talking to people about how they’re feeling could…

Susan Cain in her book, “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Won’t Stop Talking” writes, “There’s zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas.” This idea is especially relevant in today’s school systems where so much pressure is put on classroom participation. In recent years the question has been posed of whether or not grading based on classroom participation, which has been the norm in many classes for years, is really the best way to engage students.…

Personally, I thought the interview with Judge Cerski was pretty different from the other interviews. While the others talked about the balance between their work and their social life, Judge Cerski said his work is his life. I have great respect for him, and it is inspiring to hear how far he has come in his career. Although, I do not think that is the leadership approach that I want to follow. He had some great advice, but I think that I would not be happy or completely successful if I…

1. Cain, Susan. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. New York: Crown, 2012. 42-65. Print. The American writer and lecturer Susan Cain believed not everyone should be an extrovert as well as the fact that everyone can bring something to the table. Leaders are perceived to be forceful, confident, and independent. They were “not the people with the best ideas...they were the best presenters” (Cain 53). She believed that society is more likely to follow the person who…

Introduction The focus of our study was analyzing the helping behavior of people based on their given personality type and then on their class rank. It was predicted that people who described their personality as extroverted would be more willing to help even in inconvenient situations versus those who indicated they were introverted. And, thus would indicate higher scores for willingness to help in the three continuous outcome questions. These predications were made based on the common notion…

later used examples of great leaders and public figures to prove that they would describe themselves as modest and reserved even when having to put themselves into the spotlight, knowing they are doing the right thing. Evidentially, she adds that introversion is not parallel with being ‘shy’. Correspondingly our protagonist is more than ‘shy’, he is considered an introvert. Primarily, you can note that that his anxiety for calling Deanna or Celeste, troubles with publicly speaking before…

People often associate a person’s shyness with their intelligence level. The book To Kill a Mockingbird has an excellent example of a man who is shy, but is not unintelligent. There’s also examples in modern day to prove that quiet people have clever minds. People who identify themselves as being introverts, soft spoken and like to be in solitude, are often some of the world's most powerful people. In To Kill a Mockingbird Boo Radley is the book's biggest introvert. Scout, Jem, and Dill often…
