RKS 2025 Travel: Destination Southeast Asia (Short Attention Span Version)

Group Tour Personalities: The Extrovert

Extroverts are easy to spot. Friendly. Willing to approach and chat you up. Not so much they are innately friendly, but they simply can’t help themselves. Not to be exalted over introverts. Just a different personality. Moderate extroverts are fine with me and thank goodness on this tour and the previous one to Malata and Sicily there were no Willy Loman’s in the tour group.

Remember of course, there would be no extroverts without introverts. What a disaster in group dynamics if all members of the tour were extroverts or introverts!

Extroverts tend to be assertive, dominant and in great need of company. They think out loud and on their feet and prefer talking to listening rarely finding themselves at a loss for words being comfortable with conflict but not solitude.

Introverts may find extroverts annoying and brash. Extroverts may scorn the quiet introvert. Live and let live.
