1. I'm not introvert :-)

2. Speaking about your work in front of 1-2-5 people is one thing, but being tested in front of an entire class (30 people?) is a totally different thing.

In high school English, someone (rotating order) had to give a 5-10 minute talk about something in front of the class every week/class. Seems like a pretty good idea in general.
It’s not that different from giving a presentation in front of your team to a stakeholder.

It’s not that different from speaking up in your neighborhood group.

Speaking in front of people and advocating for yourself is a core human skill. If you don’t practice it you’re setting yourself up for failure.

I would even say it has nothing to do with introverts and extroverts.
