If you're an extravert (which I don't doubt), then you may have a problem with judging people based on what you see on the outside and not digging any deeper. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with that. It's just that sometimes you have to appreciate depth as well as breadth, especially when you're dealing with a field that tends to attract introverts like programming does. This may or may not be you though. I haven't met you to figure it out though.

Hmmm, interesting. You clearly explored deeply into this. To clarify, nothing wrong with any of this, they are simple different states of being. I feel a slight advantage in being able to switch, be able to go in and out of both states. Perhaps I'm none anymore. I'm not sure if all extroverts judge people based on what they see on the surface. I feel the defining attribute of extrovert is much smaller fear (or even ignorance) of uncertainty. I feel introverts hate being wrong so much more it becomes painful, so they display a stronger fear (and recognition) of uncertainty in all domains in life.

Yes, I have spent too much time studying psychology. And it depends on the person. You sound right-brained in that you can handle and even embrace uncertainty when extraverted, but become rigid when introverted. A person who is left-brained would be the exact opposite (rigid when extraverted, but flexible when introverted).

That sounds like a useful distinction. What is the defining attribute of the introvert to you? and what is an example of flexible when introverted in that context?
