What is more important than being introverted or extroverted, is being important. If you're the brains of something, then chances are that extroverted ####### jerk in reality actually NEEDS you, although they would be loathe to admit it publicly. And so long as you're comfortable in your knowledge of this, you can Dale Carnegie them into pretty much anything.

Or you can be worth a lot to a company, perform vital tasks in the everyday processes, pick up tasks as holes become apparent, get absolutely no credit, ask for more support and pay, get disregarded as a useless peon, quit and then the place falls into utter chaos. Only then do they realize how much you were worth to the company but can't bring you back as they spazzed out when you quit.
That must have happened to someone else besides me.
