Wrong. Extrovert. What about creative introverts?
"... Most inventors and engineers I’ve met are like me. They’re shy and they live in their heads. The very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone ..."

- eurleif 14y agoBeing an introvert doesn't mean not being influenced by the company you keep. Most introverts aren't asocial, they just enjoy being alone more than extroverts do.
- bootload 14y ago"... how successful you will be in life comes down to the people you spend time with. ..." I read this as equating success by association. Not in the presence of the right company the authour flounders. Woz discredits this idea.
- eurleif 14y agoHow does Woz discredit the idea? He said that he works best alone, not that no one else was involved in making him successful. Do you really think Woz would have been as successful if he had never met Steve Jobs?
