Well, I don't believe that was t_c's motive, but he has a good point -- God is for all personality types. God is for a David who sings and jumps with joy and yet also prays in silence, who also studies the ways of the Lord -- so room for a charismatic, an introvert, a scholar.

Let me give you a secular example of what I think tc is asking -- when I lived in England, I knew an Italian lady and I asked her "why are you staying in a dreary, wet and cold country with very dry people when you could live in a gorgeous country like Italy (she came from the Trentino area)"

And she told me that she as an introvert felt out of place in Italy (who are extroverted -- even their language and their gesticulations tell you that!).

LOL.

However, it is worth noting . . .

that while some introversion aspects are genetic in terms of temperament . . .

nevertheless . . . as a GENERAL RULE:

Those who

1. have an EXternal locus of control vs internal

and/OR

2. are shy, introverted

and/OR

3. are pessimistic vs optimistic

TEND TO HAVE

A) lower life satisfaction
B) lower immune system robustness
C) lower quality spouses
D) lower quality jobs & job satisfaction
E) lower incomes

Thankfully, ALL those traits can be greatly moderated, if not changed wholesale in authentic lasting ways with a lot of work and rewired thinking.
