From the Paper:

"Ratih (2002) states the extrovert's level of self-confidence, talkativeness and attention seeking behavior will lead the extrovert to dominate discussion groups, classes or professional meetings. This can be seen as both an advantage and disadvantage depending on the situation. If in a business setting, other group members or others attending a meeting are reticent for one reason or another to come forward with ideas, the extrovert will likely voice his thoughts and move the topic ahead, often choosing a course of action, driving things forward in a dynamic manner, having a strong persuasive style ("Discussion online," 2003)."
