ANALYSIS

The ability to express one's emotions outwardly and openly, whether love, hate, sorrow, anger or fear, is another factor that goes to make up extraversion.

High scorers tend to be volatile and demonstrative. Those with low scores inhibit the expression of their thoughts and feelings, and try to bury upsets in the past, leaving themselves frustrated and unheard.

How do you compare?

The norm on this trait is between 11-12 points (a statistical approximation). This may be represented on the following scale:

Expressiveness 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 || 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Inhibition
