I think we need to be careful when using the words "extrovert" and
"introvert" in this context. I'm technically an "I," but I'm plenty
extroverted and social when it comes to any party, meeting or other
gathering. It's just that I tend to listen far more than I talk - I have a
habit of asking lots of questions of someone else and not sharing too much
about myself. I'm more deliberate than most extroverts in what I speak
outwardly. But I consider all this a plus when it comes to understanding
other people.
