I don't think it is true that extroverts don't think before speaking. The difference between I/E is that introverts think about what they are saying and extroverts think about how what they are going to say will affect those they are saying it to.
Introverts care less about the feelings and emotions of their co-conversationalists and extroverts are more socially motivated to say nice things that make the group feel good or work better.
I think both introverts and extroverts think about what they are going to say. The question is, what do they tend to say once they've thought about it?

Wow, this would make me an extremely reticent extrovert. That isn't the dichotomy. The chief difference between introverts and extroverts is not whether they think about the feelings of others but how outgoing they are. Extroverts may or may not think about what they say but enjoy the attention saying it will bring. Introverts are less interested in the attention.
- rw 17y agoNo, the difference is this: extroverts regain energy by being around others, whereas introverts need to be alone.
