Why the world needs introverts

One of my friends sent me this article by email, as essentially I'm an introvert who is on occasion mistaken for an extrovert
I kind of wish someone had written and sent me this article when I was about 12 years-old, but at the same time, there does seem to be something amiss...so I was wondering what you guys think...

ETA: I'm all for introspection, but it has to be done honestly and with one eye always looking out for demagoguery.
It ties in for me with the second part of the article. I'm an extrovert- I love being around people and need that buzz- but I'm really very shy in real life.
I'm incredibly introspective in my thoughts, yet I can be a total show off creatively and I dress flamboyantly...theres not polar opposites
I prefer the Ted Talk actually - way more balanced, thanks for sharing.
"Stop the group work madness."
Also, on topic. I'm an introvert.
Up until then I always believed something was wrong with me. I'm glad that the whole introvert thing is becoming a bit more public again as an issue. Many of my friends have no interest in MBTI, and just don't seem to understand that I like to be alone, and I like to think about things a lot.
I don't need them to drag me out of my shell, in fact that way lies the road to ruin. :rolleyes:
