Criticism, Cheerleading, and Negativity - Nightly There is the perception, particularly in American culture, that criticism and negativity go hand-in-hand. We understand well the idea of being in favor or something, or against something, but we don’t particularly understand how criticism fits into this dichotomy. As someone with a penchant for criticism, I’ve often found myself misjudged as “being negative” when mere complaint is furthest from my intention. I’m here to explain myself and people like me. Criticism Is Not Negativity The reason a person is critical of a thing is because he is passionate about that thing. Negativity, in contrast, is not the product of passion. “That sucks” is negativity.

A critic can certainly reduce her criticism to “good” or “bad”, but there’s far more context and nuance at work.

Welcome to Personality Type! Below are four questions, and descriptions of two different lists of personality "preferences." Both lists have their own strengths and blindspots.

We all feel like Introverts sometimes and Extraverts at other times, depending on the situation and how much time we've spent alone vs. with lots of people. Extravert You get energized by activity, people, variety and talking and when you are at social gatherings and probably prefer to talk to lots of people about a wide range of topics. Introvert Your best ideas often come after you've let them "percolate" for a while inside your head. Hopefully now you have more confidence about your natural "preference" on this scale.

Sarcasm is an indirect form of speech intentionally used to produce a particular dramatic effect on the listener (McDonald, 1999, p. 486). Many people relate sarcasm to irony, but there is a big difference between the two. The subject of sarcasm is complex because many factors are involved. Negative sarcasm, where positively worded utterances convey negative attitudes, is used frequently in everyday language. Sarcasm has been found to be “morphologically simpler and more flexible to use than direct forms” (McDonald, 1999, 487). *Question 2.
