Daily Vocabulary Dose (DVD) TEN WORDS DESCRIBING HUMAN PERSONALITIES

Hello readers! Today's session of DVD would be a bit different from our last two sessions. Previously I randomly picked up some words while reading "The Hindu". However in today's session we are going to deal with words that describe human personalities. We humans have different kinds of personalities. Here I am going to deal with ten personality types. Please read the words along with their explanations. In the coming days, I will be organising practice tests for your revision.

1. Egoist- These type of people think about themselves before anyone else. They are self centered and selfish people.
2. Egotist- These type of people are boastful to the point that annoys others. They are extremely conceited and keep bragging about themselves.
3. Altruist- Such persons are always willing to help others unselfishly. They always think about welfare of others.
4. Introvert- These type of persons are shy and reticent. They prefer being alone. They often appear unsocial to others.
5. Extrovert- They are outgoing and socially confident. They take no time to mingle with others.
6. Ambivalent- These type of people possess the traits of both extrovert and introvert. It all depends upon time and situation whether they act as introverts or extroverts.
7. Misanthrope- These type of persons basically hate everyone. They dislike human kind and avoid human society.
8. Misogynist- These type of people hate women. They are strongly prejudiced against women.
9. Misogamist- These type of people hate the complete idea of marriage. They don't want to get married and usually don't  accept marriage invitations.
