How it's used
Describes a personality trait that focuses on social interaction and external stimulation. While it functions as an adjective, it is frequently used with the verb 係 to describe someone's general character. It is the direct opposite of 內向, and both terms are commonly used in casual settings to discuss social preferences.
Examples
He has such an extroverted personality, he makes friends wherever he goes.
Do you think you are more introverted or extroverted?

extroverted personality
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe someone who is simply talkative or loud, as it specifically refers to the psychological orientation toward social engagement rather than just volume or frequency of speech.
