The Extroverted Performance-Driven Person's primary driving force is to perform better than others. They are a competitive individual who directs their attention towards external, objective conditions, which they aim to calibrate according to. While the Introverted Performance-Driven People want to be in sync with themselves, the Extroverted Performance-Driven People want to be in sync with their surroundings. In a competitive perspective, this means that they want to perform according to what they are measured on, and therefore the success criteria of the outside world are integrated with their own success criteria and performance objectives. In a performance environment, the Extroverted Performance-Driven Person is often considered easier to deal with because they largely subscribe to the prevailing success criteria, and unlike the Primadonna and the Introverted Performance-Driven Person, they do not set up their own success criteria. ## The Extroverted Performance-Driven Person's Kick The Extroverted Performance-Driven Person gains energy from the environment to perform better than others by comparing themselves with others. They gain energy by measuring themselves against others and from others pushing them, breathing down their neck, or perhaps overtaking them. It gives extra energy to try to perform even better. Their primary kick is triggered when they succeed in creating an extraordinary, measurable result that is recognized by others. The Extroverted Performance-Driven Person sets extremely ambitious goals – often because they are attracted to achievements that no one else has achieved before them. The great ambitions create a very goal-loyal archetype that develops a sharp focus on a future goal and does not relent until the goal is reached. They primarily orient themselves towards definable successes, for without a clearly defined goal, it is impossible to determine who has reached the finish line first. ## Kick-Stories The Extroverted Performance-Driven Person's kick-stories will often contain tales of performance measured from external success criteria. In these stories, the Extroverted Performance-Driven Person is at the center, and others' acknowledgment of the performance is often emphasized. However, they are more than just a person in competition with others. They are also in competition with themselves. ## Behavior Pattern The Extroverted Performance-Driven Person is extremely ambitious and goal-oriented – and often a reliable result creator. If the Extroverted Performance-Driven Person fails to achieve the desired result, the disappointment is great, and the disappointment may be outwardly directed and characterized by anger and deep frustration. They are a person with a high, outward-directed energy level, but just like with the other archetypes, it's essential to look behind the behavior if the temperament is boiling. The energy that can come out of a frustrated Extroverted Performance-Driven Person is also the energy that helps create extraordinary, extremely ambitious results. Without that energy, the results would be absent. ## Sources https://www.lederweb.dk/artikler/saadan-forloeser-du-de-fire-arketypers-talent/
