Etymology
The term 'extroversion' was first introduced by psychologist Carl Jung in the 1920s as one of the fundamental dimensions of personality. It stems from the Latin word 'extra,' meaning 'outside,' and 'vertere,' meaning 'to turn.' Extroversion is often contrasted with introversion, with extroverts being energized by social interactions and external stimuli.
