enjoying all kinds of physical activity including hard work and exercise, pursuing a wide variety of different interests.
People with low scores are inclined to be physically inactive, lethargic and easily tired. They prefer leisurely activities
and find it hard to get going in the morning. High activity is an extravert characteristic:
such a person is outgoing because he has clear goals and knows what he wants - this provides the
energy. Low activity tends to go with introversion: a more inward-looking, self-conscious and inhibited personality.
The person's goals may not be as clear - he may have suffered failure or trauma in the past and therefore have less confidence and energy.
ANALYSIS People scoring high on this Trait tend to seek out the company of others, they like social functions such as parties and dances
and are comfortable when meeting new people. They are extraverted and unselfconscious in company. People with low scores prefer to
have only a few special friends (who are like them) and most enjoy doing things on their own. They tend to be self-conscious and worry
about finding things to talk about with other people. Though they may feel content enough, they seem to others to be introverted and,
maybe, unfriendly. They have probably had frustrating or humiliating experiences in the past when trying to communicate and so they
avoid risking a repetition. They may justify this with a consideration that others are unintelligent or trivial, further solidifying their inhibition.
Or they may feel that they have better things to do! The norm on this trait is between 14-15 points (a statistical approximation).
