Extroverts are typically described as?

• A. Prefer solitude
• B. Low arousal seeking
• C. High conscientiousness
• D. Seek stimulation

Answer: (D)

Extroversion describes how people get energy from social interaction and external stimuli. Extroverts are energized by being around others and by lively, stimulating environments, so they actively seek out activities that provide social contact and excitement. This fits the idea that they seek stimulation to stay engaged and perform well. In arousal terms, extroverts often have a lower baseline level of arousal, so they look for external stimulation to reach an optimal level for activity and enjoyment. Preferring solitude aligns with introversion, not extroversion. The trait of conscientiousness is a separate dimension and doesn’t define whether someone is extroverted.
