Correct Answer - Option 3 : Extrovert Personality
Personality refers to the distinctive attributes of a person that characterize him or her. It is to understand what makes people unique and different from each other. According to American Psychological Association, “Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.”
Carl Jung also developed a theory of personality. His theory is one of the type theories of personality, as it involved typology of introversion and extroversion.
Jung (1923) described:
- Extroverts as preferring to engage with the outside world of objects, sensory perception, and action. The type of personality of a person expressing his Libido outward is Extrovert Personality.
- Introverts he described as being more focused on the internal world of reflection, are thoughtful and insightful. The type of personality of a person expressing his Libido inward is the Introvert Personality.
Theory of the Libido: Jung (1948) disagreed with Freud regarding the role of sexuality. He believed the libido was not just sexual energy, but instead generalized psychic energy. For Jung, the purpose of psychic energy was to motivate the individual in a number of important ways, including spiritually, intellectually, and creatively. It was also an individual's motivational source for seeking pleasure and reducing conflict.
- Cognitive theories of personality focus on the processes of information encoding and retrieval, and the role of expectations, motives, goals, and beliefs in the development of stable personality characteristics. This approach differs from personality theories that emphasize either the conditions within which personality develops (e.g., behavioral theories) or the trait structures that are revealed in those various conditions (e.g., evolutionary and trait theories).
