Psychic energy may also flow inward or outward. If in an individual it usually goes outward, he is an extravert.

She slapped faces, seized cigars and pipes, tried to sell hatches for her crusade, and left only after 2,000 stamping students forced her back onto the electric car for Boston...
...this reason, the Bandsmen will begin canvassing for funds in dining halls this evening. If they can get the necessary amount in the next two weeks, they will be able to haul a new drum onto the field for the opening football game next season. The new drum, in fact, will be bigger than the old, thus surpassing the instrument purchased by the University of Florida last year, once again giving the Band the biggest in the world...
