Scientists say there's a brand NEW very different personality type

"Dr Kaminski told Daily Mail: 'Simply put, an otrovert is a person who feels no sense of belonging to any group. Otroverts are very friendly and able to forge very deep connections with other people. 'The only social difference happens in the lack of connection to groups: collective identity or shared traditions.' While this might sound like a difficult way to live, Dr Kaminski says that otroverts are often more creative, free-thinking, and inventive."

"Coming from the Latin root word 'vert', meaning 'to turn', psychologists say that antisocial introverts 'turn' inwards while sociable extroverts 'turn' outwards. Otroverts, on the other hand, turn the other way - refusing or finding themselves unable to join in with other people. Dr Kaminski, who considers himself an otrovert, says he first became aware that he was not like other people when he joined the scouts as a child."

Otroverts form a distinct third personality type characterized by a lack of connection to groups or collective identity. Otroverts can build deep individual relationships yet do not derive emotional meaning from communal rituals, team activities, or shared traditions. Otroverts often prefer working alone, dislike team sports, and may find common communal habits baffling. The term derives from Latin 'vert' meaning 'to turn'; introverts turn inward, extroverts turn outward, and otroverts turn away from group belonging. Otroverts are frequently more creative, free-thinking, and inventive, with examples cited among scientists, painters, and writers.
