Etymology

The term 'extrovert' comes from the Latin root 'extra', meaning 'outside', and 'vertere', meaning 'to turn'. It was originally coined in the early 20th century within the framework of psychological analysis. Psychologists such as Carl Jung popularized the concept, contrasting extroverts with introverts, who are individuals that prefer solitary activities and are drained by social interactions. The notion of extroverting as a behavior emerged as psychologists sought to understand the different ways individuals interact with their environment and socialize with one another. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass a wide range of social behaviors, particularly in the context of personality assessments and workplace dynamics.
