Note sure how reliable/accurate the conclusions in the article are. At the very least the introverts among us can use this bit of (confirmation bias) information to convince ourselves that "we were right all along" and extroverts should be more like us.

Uh, that's kind of the point here: basically they find that so called introverts and extroverts have the same desire for solitary restful activities. Other research has found that there's no basis to the idea that introverts recharge when they're alone and extroverts recharge around people. Indeed, the label tells us more about how comfortable people feel around other people than anything about their needs.
