I think you are doing a good job with this blog Pat. It is good thing I did not have people who knew I was an introvert to tell me I could not speak or teach in public. I have done it successfully for 25 years and I, like Pat, am an INTJ. A good friend has a good quote I enjoy. "In life as well as chess, It’s really what you make of it and where you position yourself."-Laura Sherman That helps me see myself and others-- introverts and extroverts-- as different pieces on a chess board with different skills. Both introverts and extroverts can speak in public and introverts have some distinct advantages. For instance introverts tend to think before they speak. Guess who has less quotes-gone-bad floating around. I suspect these below came from extroverts speaking on the record and considering if it made sense after they and millions heard it. QuoteGoneWrong: "If we don't make some changes, the status quo will remain the same." QuoteGoneWrong: "We do not have censorship. What we have is a limitation on what newspapers can report." QuoteGoneWrong: "Candidly, I cannot answer that. The question is too suppository." QuoteGoneWrong: "Let's jump off that bridge when we come to it." QuoteGoneWrong: "I resent your insinuendoes."

You can be an introvert and yet, because you speak from the platform, people will think you're an extrovert. I believe, part of that stems from the fact that so many people are afraid of speaking in public. So, when they see someone else speaking in public the inference becomes, that person must really like people and thus the perception that he or she is an extrovert.
