Among the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) type 16 personality, there is a particularly popular personality type - they are outgoing, enthusiastic, helpful, and at the same time they are extremely sensitive to feedback from others. This type of personality trait is usually reflected in the combination of 'extroversion (E) + turbulence (T)' in MBTI, which we call 'social personality' strategy.

MBTI-ET personality model: Extroverted and sensitive dual traits
The MBTI-ET personality combines two seemingly contradictory qualities: 'Extraverted' and 'Turbulent': they act boldly and dare to take risks outside, but often have sensitivity and self-doubt in their hearts. It is precisely because of this that these people often act first and then think - they are willing to participate and dare to express themselves, but they may also hide their true selves because they care too much about other people's views.
However, this contradiction may not be a flaw. Data shows that 95% of social personality people say that 'helping others can improve self-confidence' , which means that they draw energy from interpersonal interactions and affirm themselves by positively affecting others.
Love and dedication
In emotional relationships, people with social personality are often fully devoted. They can easily fall in love and have difficulty enjoying being single. They desire to be needed and loved, and often strive to play the role of 'perfect lover' to satisfy their partner.
Data shows that 70% of people with this type of personality believe that 'being loved is more important than being respected.' They will give all their heart to love someone, but they are also prone to being hurt by the other person’s lack of enthusiasm or emotional feedback.
Their growth path is to learn to understand that everyone expresses love in different ways - some people like words, some people like actions, and some rely on company to convey love. When people with social personality can understand and adapt to these differences, their relationships tend to be more stable and happy.
Expression and recognition needs in the workplace
Another typical manifestation of social personality is their activity and enthusiasm in the workplace. They are very suitable for jobs that require frequent interpersonal interactions, such as customer service, sales, education, psychological counseling, etc. These areas allow them to feel the value of being “needed” and also have the opportunity to win positive feedback from others.
This type of people not only pursue career success, but also pay special attention to the recognition and appreciation of others. Promotion, bonuses, praise emails, and customer praise will greatly inspire them to keep moving forward.
According to statistics, 56% of social personality people say they 'admired their bosses' - which also shows that they are willing to follow respectable leaders and hope that they can become that person one day.
But they also need to be careful: blindly pleasing others and catering to the organization can sometimes make them lose their values. Therefore, in the workplace, this type of person should also learn to stop at the right time, think about their long-term goals, and ensure that their efforts are consistent with their hearts.
The breadth of life and emotional fluctuations
This type of personality has a distinctive feature: they love to try new things and their lives are always full of enthusiasm. Data shows that 74% of people with social personality often 'look for new hobbies' - whether it is sports, photography, writing or volunteering, they can always find a sense of fulfillment in their lives.
However, this type of person's emotional ups and downs will also be relatively large. They may fall from excitement to anxiety in minutes, or from firmness to hesitation. The reason is that 'outward' action and 'turbulent' self-doubt will continue to collide.
But it is this 'inner contradiction' that has made them unique charm. They can be the focus of the party or they can think about life alone late at night. They know how to enjoy themselves and dare to face challenges. This tension allows them to live a rich and three-dimensional life.
Data shows that 45% of these people believe that 'fear is something that needs to be overcome' - which also means that they are consciously honing their inner strength through socializing, working and challenges.
Summary: The path to growth of social personality
People with social personality are both enthusiastic and uneasy, and they both take the initiative and care about responding. They are the pistachios between friends, the active members of the team, and the devotees of lovers.
But to truly live out themselves, they need to learn - not just 'being liked', but being understood; not just 'behave well', but 'being the real selves'.
