Well, I thought about it and this isn't something I can argue. I'll take your word, Maeve. The idea of introversion has been argued in this forum a couple of times (run a search and you'll find'em), by the way, for those interested.

Here's what I think:

To be an introvert simply means Jungian introversion dominance of personality along the extroversion-introversion scale, saying nothing about the rest of your personality. Thus, it's inherently inaccurate, because it doesn't even pretend to completely flesh out the very model it's a part of, but it's a useful abstraction despite that.

I have a feeling you'll agree with me, but I'll leave it anyways.
