Introverts in an extrovert's world

Introverts in an extrovert's worldMy sister sent me this link and it's a good one! It certainly describes the dilemna that Introverts face each day; how to interact with an Extroverted society that likes to call Introverts "shy" as if that were a problem. It's really only a problem for the Extrovert.

I have a background in the study and teaching of the Myer-Briggs Type Index and that explores all of the ways we "prefer" to interact with each other...and we used to explain the difference this way; an Extrovert talks to think, while an Introvert thinks before talking.

What this author doesn't describe is the daily pain that children are faced with in school, as schools don't take into account any of the 16 different personality Types. Schools have a "one size fits all" mentality.
