Encyclopedia > Extroversion

The terms Introvert and Extrovert (originally spelled Extravert by Carl Jung, who invented the terms) are referred to as "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.

In terms of whether extroversion and introversion in the population are bimodally distributed or normally distributed it can be seen clearly from the graph that Eysenck was correct and extroversion does form a continuum.
The second hypothesis cannot be resolved; it is impossible to say that the judgements of extroversion and neuroticism in the celebrities are inaccurate since we have no actual neuroticism or extroversion scores for the celebrities in question.
Furthermore, terms such as “extroversion” and “neuroticism” are hypothetical constructs; it is sometimes suggested that “extroversion” is constituted by a number of factors both physiological and psychological, some of which are beyond the scrutiny of observers.
