Is this really not satire? "Are introverts arrogant? Hardly. I suppose this common misconception has to do with our being more intelligent, more reflective, more independent, more level-headed, more refined, and more sensitive than extroverts."

I think that part was a joke. But the article as a whole is definitely not satire; it's an excellent description of how I and many other people feel in social situations, and a rebuttal of some common misconceptions about us that have been annoying me for years.
How is that a joke. It fits neatly how I would have described it. Introverts are more reflective, the author states that they are a majority amongst the gifted and perhaps their reflection perhaps leads to sensitivity.
