> Because there's scientific evidence strongly suggesting otherwise. That's pretty generic, I could use that as an argument for anything. I wonder if there was ever a scientific study checking if there is a correlation between the degree of introversion and competency in a deeply technical/scientific subject. Disclaimer: I studied Physics. Having specialized in Theoretical Particle Physics, extrovert people were just not there. Actually I wrote my thesis at a professor who had quite extrovert tendencies but it turned out he was not really helpful and rather rude. (Forced extrovert?) How do you actually solve an integral by talking? It's a trick question, of course it's possible but I have never seen how extroverts solve a complicated integral while thinking loudly and discussing. How do you socialize by not talking so much? It's also possible. Communicating with body language etc. might be what makes us human actually. That said, being a strong introvert myself, I can network for hours when it's for a reason. But I rarely do that anymore because I don't see much of a point. Most people I meet through such Networking Marathons ended up in my LinkedIn/Facebook, congratulating them every few years for stuff or maybe coincidentally even being able to seek useful help sometimes. But my strongest connections I found "organically", frequenting places I have deep interest in or through common friends. With these connections I have co-founded 2 companies or given mutual help, inspiration and collaboration over years. I doubt extroverts have that very often. ;)
