I just read a very interesting book called The Art of SpeedReading people that supports this article. According to the book the main distinction between an introvert and extravert (yes, not a typo, the term used in the book) is that introverts re-charge by being alone while extaverts recharge by being around people. Even introverts who are socially adept and can thrive in public gatherings, feel drained by the experience and need some time alone afterwords. Extraverts are the exact opposite. Also there are shy extaverts and highly talkative introverts! I highly recommend the book!
