1. Social Relationships & Personality Types
Joe Raftis

2. My research Qualtrics survey, Chats with friends
Questions based on extraversion, introversion and ambiversion
Trying to find out whether personality difference affects making meaningful friendships

3. Some findings Most extraverts liked small talk, introverts disliked it
All personality types prioritized one-on-one interactions
Personality type seemed to matter more to introverts
Introverts won’t pursue friendships that don’t seem to progress; extraverts often will

4. Other interesting data
78% extraverts said commonality wasn’t a big deal
Introverts said lack of commonality was a deal-breaker in most cases
Most respondents said interest from another person inspired pursuing a friendship
Almost everyone said mediated conversation is harmful to face-to-face

5. Conclusion Everyone Strives for belonging, and social interaction
Different personality types go about this in different ways
Social media is highly beneficial but it’s potential pitfalls are recognized
Introverts care more about deep connections, extraverts about general interaction
All three personalities similarly hope for purpose and belonging equally
