The impact of failed extroversion challenges and declaring goals

Individuals who continually accept extroversion challenges but fail them may perceive themselves as less extroverted, leading to decreases in extroversion levels over time. Additionally, declaring a goal may create a premature sense of progress, undermining motivation to actually work towards the goal. The latest science of personality change indicates that long-lasting changes can be achieved by repeatedly changing habits of thinking, acting, and reacting to the world, along with implementing psychologically validated techniques.
