Ehrrrrrrrrrrrrrm... actually, from the link NotesMaeve posted
I paraphrased a bit, but it's the same message.
Jung's Theory of Temperaments Extroverted attitude
[...]
b. sociable and confident in unfamiliar surroundings, less cautious, less fearful,
[...]
Introverted attitude
[...]
b. prefers reflection to activity.
[...]
I mean, I know people who would conventionally be tagged as "extroverts" who really
fear unfamiliar surroundings, who never break relationships and often criticize themselves (but have most of the other characteristics of conventional "extroverts").

I originally didn't use the words in the psychoanalytical-Jungian meaning, but simply in the conventional sense.
Anyway, Michael, I understood what you mean.

I hope Jung didn't say that such people have "personality disorders"
But even if... so what. Unity in diversity
