While Eysenck differentiated between introversion and extroversion on the basis of differing levels of functioning in one's ascending reticular activating system, different tests can be conducted to reveal one's level of extroversion and introversion in relation to their arousal levels.

Extrovers and introverts (non-coffee drinkers) were assessed on their quality of task completion. Who performed the best after consuming coffee? Extroverts obtained greater results which can be explained by Eyesenck's arousal theory in which extrovert's baseline of arousal is under aroused. What does that mean for introverts? According to Eysenck, introverts are chronically over-aroused, and can easily become overloaded, from the introduction of caffeine. This can lead to a decrease in performance quality.

A second study conducted examined extraversion and introversions in relation to noise arousal and one's response. Extraverts are likely to show greater positive response rates to an increase of volume on the TV during commercials, as opposed to introverts (who are naturally more aroused than extroverts) and become overstimulated and responded to an increase in volume in an opposite manner than extroverts.

Lemon, a fruit know for it's sour qualities can be useful in differentiating levels of extraversion and introversion in individuals. When consuming a substance as sour as lemon juice it is common for introverts to react by producing greater amounts of saliva than extroverts who were given the same amount of sour lemon juice as the introverts. Introverts, due to their higher baseline of arousal respond to a greater extent which results in them producing move saliva than a less aroused extrovert.

It may be thought by some that when assessing wether introverts or extroverts reveal their true selves though online platforms such as social media that extroverts may be more likely to do this than introverts, as extroverts are less shy and more outgoing in face to face interactions. Yet, introverts tend to show their true selves online more than extroverts. Through online platforms the ensure offer confidential access, introverts can socialize from there they choose, when they choose, for the length they choose without being seen. These online interactions offer the possibility of becoming face to face interactions and prove to be a tool for introverts seeking friends.

In evaluating the correlation between the Big Five personality traits and leadership it was found that extroversion was positively correlated to being successful a position of leadership, whereas introverts are less likely to rise to positions of leadership.

However despite these methods of testing prove to be effective there are also limitations. This section will explore the limitations to the above tests. (Might not need to include the second sentence- "This section will explore..." since it isn't a research paper (maybe?)

Incorporating class material in your work was so successfully done and worded extremely well! If I were to research studies done on extra/introversion, this bit would be extremely helpful. So well done! Can't wait to read the final result!
