Introverts/Extroverts Assessed

Introverts and extroverts are two different personality types that bring distinct, but complementary, skills to all sorts of business and social situations.  Both types are common all over the world, and equally distributed among men and women.   In both business and political situations, either extroverts or introverts can be successful leaders.   Intriguingly, recent research shows that introverts can equal the success of extroverts even in jobs like sales.   Great novelists have come from both personality types.  In short, it's not either/or or "better than" but rather both personality types contribute to a diverse and well functioning society.

Extroverts would never figure this out, because they can't slow down enough to think things through carefully.
