People in nature are different and have different personalities. They can quite easy detect is person which they know introvert or extravert, and there are people who see some traits and differences between groups. Of course, the negative side of seeing traits is that they can become stereotypes.
Researchers administrated the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NOE-PI-R), test that can distinguish if stereotypes of cross-cultural differences are real or it is just invalidity. Test can be used in 50 different cultures and it measures national character of cultures. Test includes short questionnaire which helps to indicate typical personality characteristic of group member. Research involved thousands of people and results of group members personality profiles were averaged and comprised to help researchers to determine which beliefs about national character matched.
Results showed two things. First of all it showed that people from particular cultures can summarize their national character - how they see themselves as a culture. Second thing is that national characters do not match with actual personality profiles of people in that cultures, it means that national character do not generalize personality characteristics, it is cultures views at themselves.
