FYI

Statistically, introverts, as a group (there's always exceptions) score significantly lower on:

--satisfaction in marriage
--satisfaction in work
--make less money
--I forget the 4th thing ... might be satisfaction with life in general.

That’s nonsense.

I hate to break it to you but some of the wealthiest self made people in the world are introverts .
(Use anything made by Apple ? Steve Jobs was an introvert)

Introvert does not equal antisocial .

Your point?
You can’t change introverts into extroverts.

Sometimes after reading an article it helps to do a search on the antithetical position. Especially now when so much research is self serving bunk.

Researchers from ghSmart, a Chicago-based consultancy firm, spent ten years analysing the personalities of 2,000 CEOs and reached the conclusion that the majority of the successful ones were introverts.

This flies in the face of the image most people have of a typical charismatic, confident, extroverted leader.

The study is called the CEO Genome Project.

“When we flip on the news, or check our social media feeds, we are bombarded with images of well-groomed, Ivy league-educated icons of the Fortune 100,” the study authors write. “And we can’t help but think, I could never be them.

“In fact, they come from surprisingly varied backgrounds. Of the six million CEOs of companies in America, only seven per cent went to an elite school—and eight per cent didn’t graduate college at all. Some are immigrants; many worked their way up through the ranks from entry-level positions.”
