Physical presence is orthogonal to extroversion.

An extrovert can manifest himself in video/voice calls and even email. He will be the one to contact people, plan meetings, ask how everyone is doing,... An introvert can be on site and not leave his office except to walk around see how things are going, not talking to anyone.

There was a study that extroverts actually did better under lockdown than introverts, because extroverts quickly found alternative ways of socializing. Introverts still needed to socialize, even if not as much, but after lockdowns cut the few ties they had, they had more trouble remaking them, being less experienced with social tools.

I don’t doubt this, but would be interested in reading the study. Would you mind sharing the link?

Edit: here’s the study: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.5616...
