Extraverts typically thrive in large groups.
Extroverion is an aspect of the Extroversion and introversion continuum and is a well studied personality trait in its own right.
Extroversion is "the act, state, or habit of being predominantly concerned with and obtaining gratification from what is outside the self".[1] Extroverts tend to be very socialble and to be assertive, enthusiastic, talkative, and gregarious. They take pleasure in activities that involve large social gatherings, such as parties, community activities, public demonstrations, and business or political groups. Politics, teaching, sales, managing, brokering are fields that favor extroversion. An extroverted person is likely to enjoy time spent with people and find less reward in time spent alone. They enjoy risk-taking and often show leadership abilities.[2]
An extrovert is energized when around other people. Extroverts tend to "fade" when alone and can easily become bored without other people around. Extroverts tend to think as they speak. When given the chance, an extrovert will talk with someone else rather than sit alone and think.
