Description

This experiment involves studying introversion and extroversion and how these two personality types differ in one-on-one interactions when an individual is in an ambiguous situation. By looking at Jung's viewpoint of introversion and extroversion, we can see that there are notable differences in how introverts and extroverts act in social situations. Participants in this study entered a room and were given a personality test that was used to determine whether they show more introversion or extroversion tendencies. A second timed test was then given, which the participant was told relates personality types to test taking. In actuality, this study looked at how the participant reacted to not receiving a portion of the test. The experimenter leaves the room and the participant is left alone with a stranger, who is a confederate of the experiment. This study measured how long it took the participants to ask the stranger about the test and related this to measured introversion/extroversion.
