Word origin
The term 'extroverted' was popularized by psychologist Carl Jung in the early 20th century as part of his theories on personality. It stems from the Latin word 'extra', meaning 'outside', combined with the English word 'introverted'. Jung believed that individuals fell into one of two categories: extroverted, focusing on the external world, and introverted, focusing on the internal world.
