Extroversion
The terms Introvert and Extrovert (spelled Extravert by Carl Jung), were
originally employed by Sigmund Freud and given significant amplification
later by Jung. The terms refer to "attitudes" and show how a
person orients and receives their energy. In the Extraverted attitude
the energy flow is outward, and the preferred focus is on people and things,
whereas in the Introverted attitude the energy flow is inward, and the
preferred focus is on thoughts and ideas.
