You are right, i have seen my introvert boss, taking verbal damage, hold his anger and his words for 5 seconds and unleash a devastating speech that made the other guy walk away.

He also took leading part in many high management meetings without any social fear.

I am about the middle and i hated working under an extrovert manager, all chatting, big words, self promotion stories, useless long meetings, fake friendly attitude that turned into professional talk when shit got real etc.

The difference between an introvert and an extrovert is best displayed when there is a lack of incentive.

Introverts can readily step into an extroverted role when it's necessary and aligns with their goals.

Introverts are not going to toast at a large party without good reason(improving speaking skills, impressing a guest, etc) whereas an extrovert might give a toast for fun.

Does your blood settle in the top or lower part of your head?
