Paper 2
Revise: Introvert and extrovert personalitiesPersonality describes a person's characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Sports psychologists use personality types to help explain why performers may prefer different sporting environments. Two types are introvert and extrovert.
When explaining suitability, link a personality characteristic to a demand of a named sport: for example, an introvert may suit darts because it requires concentration and precise fine skills at low arousal.
Use ‘tend to’ rather than ‘always’. Personality types suggest preferences; they do not determine which sports someone can play.
