Public speaking has become a normal occurrence in business and academic environment, so good communication and presentation skills are a necessary for every person who want to be successful. However, what if the presentation, although it sounds simple, becomes a complex problem related to the personality of the speaker. Since people are characterized by different personality traits that affect their behavior, it is normal that they will react differently in stressful situations such as holding public speech in front of a large audience. No one wants fear to restrain and limit them in life, especially if that fear is easily resolved. An individual’s level of extroversion has a large impact on his or her behavior in society, so extroverts will feel comfortable in almost any social circumstance, including public appearances while introverts will prefer solitude. This paper contains basic theoretical postulates about the fear of public appearance and personality traits with an emphasis on the extroverted dimension. In addition, research was conducted to investigate the association between extrovertedness as a personality trait and fear of public appearance that occurs in individuals. The sample was student population who often face the fear of public appearances due to their educational obligations. The research was conducted with a survey questionnaire created using the Google Forms tool, while the obtained results were processed in Microsoft Excel. The questionnaire consisted of three parts, starting with the collection of general data on the respondents, followed by the part dealing with personality traits (IPIP-NEO, extroversion/introversion scale) and finally the part on experience with public speaking (PRPSA). The obtained results showed that there is a negative correlation between the variables, which confirms that respondents with lower results on the personality questionnaire, achieve higher results on the questionnaire of public appearance and vice versa. Also, it turned out that there are certain differences between the examined sociodemographic characteristics.
