Extraversion
Carl Gustav Jung distinguished between two major attitudes/ orientations of personality – the attitude of extraversion and the attitude of introversion. The extraverted attitude orients the person toward the external, objective world, while the introverted attitude orients the person toward the inner, subjective world. These two opposing attitudes are both present in the personality, but ordinarily in most people of the society, one of them is dominant and conscious, while the other is subordinate and unconscious. Here it should be noted that attitudes are more or less modes of preferences of an individual toward specific things in life. Furthermore, both introversion and extraversion differ from internal and external locus of control. The attitudes follow societal stereotypes, with extroverts being outgoing and confident and the introverts being hesitant and reflexive. Apart from this Eysenck also spoke of extroversion in his theory of personality, to indicate people who experienced lower cortical arousal in comparison to the introverts.
