Questions about Introverts

[see: Livingood 1995]

Introverts get their energy from quiet thought and introspection. How does this apply to weblogs? Will Introverts prefer them, to Extraverts? I suspect it will depend on whether the weblogs are made public (extraverts) or not (introverts).

In the US Introverts are a minority - 25-30% of the population. I wonder whether more Introverts go to University? i.e. the education system favours Introverts, or that Introverts do better academically?

Introverts are computer programmers. People who crave conversation and human interaction don't last long programming computers. Certain personality types are more likely to enjoy using computers. Might this also account for why certain types are more prevalent online? Hence more likely to have a weblog or online journal... cos they use the computer/Internet a lot already... and there is a greater likelihood that they would 1. stumble across the technology and 2. keep it up. If they are not online much then they would lose interest in it... or forget about it?
