Some interesting thoughts in there. Introverts can certainly learn to get their extroversion needs met through supporting concepts like boundary-setting and analytical interaction.
And a lot of extroverts are more considerable natural-doers than introverts generally are, preferring object-control-focused movement and e.g. sensory extroversion (hands-on experiencing) to the degree that they can't sit still and prefer to be productive even if their introverted side is screaming at them to take a planning break before they outrun their body's support systems.
(For example, the way a perfectly good Iron Man turns into desperate self-centered Tony Stark, in those really sad moments. A huge curse of inexperienced introversion is not being able to see past oneself and one's problems...)
There's also the theory that, considered in isolation, an individual is essentially a self-contained introvert-extrovert oscillator, and various perspectives of those two sides, like actors on an inner stage, tend to take turns "winning" and "losing" in terms of highlighting convincing or interesting perceptions and judgments.
So a really good question, which could help us avoid a needless personality war, might be: How can I meet both my introversion and extroversion needs? This activity would necessarily build some quality of the needed empathy to work with others.
It's also maybe something only an introvert would really care about... ;-)
Nice job on the article!
