> UPDATE: There are, by and large, two broad types of writers: extroverts who promote themselves capably, but might or might not have equally good skills, and introverts who lock themselves away and aren't great at self-promotion.

That in itself is a broad swath of a statement, and not necessarily true.

Why does being an extrovert have to be correlated with being and impostor, and introvert just simply these poor humble victims whose talents are overlooked?

What I saying is, if you're looking for work - applying for jobs is never the time to be humble. And if you are already confident, being humble won't help you.

1. What part of the phrase "might or might not" wasn't clear to you?

2. Where in "introverts who lock themselves away and aren't great at self-promotion" do you see any assertion about talent?

What you're saying is a word salad, primed by not reading what I wrote carefully.
