Sociability (Outgoing / Reserved)

A person who is highly sociable is said to be Outgoing, whereas someone more quiet and withdrawn is said to be Reserved. An Outgoing person thrives on social activity and will be bored having to focus on a solitary activity for too long. A reserved individual on the other hand thrives in individualism and actually feels overwhelmed by excessive social activity and excitement. What may be exciting for one might cause anxiety and stress in another – one may prefer to spend Saturday night at a club while another may prefer a good book and a coffee shop. So, it is important to be well matched on this quality, since it has implications in how one chooses to live their daily lives, as well as interaction style. Communication style can also vary dramatically between these two: an Outgoing person might be said to talk too much, whereas a Reserved person might tend to be non-communicative.
