extroversions
Turning attention outward
Extroversions is the plural of extroversion, the personality trait of directing energy outward toward people and activities rather than inward.
Psychology recognizes extroversion as one end of a spectrum, with introversion at the other.
The word also appears as extraversion in technical literature.
Different extroversions manifest in different ways—some people thrive at parties, others in collaborative work.
