Carl Jung was the one who came up with the extravert/introvert, and he also found that you don't have to be strictly one or the other, but can have a mixture of both. However, one is dominant.
Jung is my favorite of the great innovators of modern psychology. It's funny, but before I knew of Jung, I had my own idea of a collective unconscious. In my mid-teens, I became fascinated with Freud and "discoved" Jung through him. When I first read of his theory of the collective unconscious, I was totally blown away. When I was younger, I had the dream of becoming a psychologist. Unfortunately, that never came to fruition. Like you, I do much better with people's minds than I do with machines. I would have to do something like forensic psychology and not therapy, though. Whiny people irritate me too much for that!
I can be either an introvert or an extrovert, depending upon my mood. I've never been shy or anything like that. Sometimes I just prefer not to be bothered with socialization. Once in a social situation, however, I am never the wallflower. I also have pretty strong leadership qualities and fairly strong charisma, I just generally don't put them to use. And in case you couldn't tell, I don't think of recognizing one's own talents as conceit, just fact. ;)

Macrotastics are great for the maxed out sims. I send them off cleaning/gardening/etc, or set them to 'paint continously', have them power-idle, or have them train the kids/teens with the skillinator. Then I can concentrate on the ones that need more attention.
My son has devised either the ultimate challenge for control freaks, or the ultimate nightmare, depending upon point of view. It's the "I'm Surrounded by Idiots" Challenge. In any given household, you control one Sim and one Sim only. Everyone else is free-range. Of course, the challenge is in keeping everyone else happy and productive using just the one Sim. You're not allowed to see what the others want, however. You have to use observation and educated guessing. It's both fun and challenging and often has quite hilarious results.

Funny, but that's the way I normally like to play. :P
And Jung was a wordy busy-body. If he had been as good a shrink as he was at enhancing his vocabulary, mental illness would be a thing of the past.

OOOOOHH! Now here's a challenge I could get into. I just haven't been brave enough (I guess despite the body armor and the lead pipe, I am still in some ways a wuss) to do the email challenge, although it looks funny and interesting. I may have to tear myself away from my current fave family and give these a go.

I spent years and years in business, then flip-flopped and went back to school for a technical degree in medicine. Now I'm back to running the family business. The past 25 years I've maintained a hobby-like devotion to learning computers...as the field keeps one...no, several...steps ahead of me. *Sigh* I'm an artist, an introvert who has learned to be an extravert when a need arises, dabble in computer graphics, write poetry, paint watercolours, make jewelry, and try whatever else strikes my fancy.
I'm addicted to Sims, and I thank God my hubby is addicted to surfing the internet, because we can sit quite happily at our desks for hours. We live on an island and the TV is crappy, so this fills an entertainment need. I'm a control freak, so therefore I LOVE macrotastics. Without it, I couldn't possibly control everyone, all of the time. I have ALL of JM's hacks and couldn't do without them. I'm an achiever, so it's a challenge for me to allow my Sims to be different - read: stupid, sloppy, underachiever, etc. - but I'm learning.

Ooh! Something I can do after I finish, Legacy, Prosperity and Email! Yay!
Of course, I'm only on Generation 2 of Legacy is still a child, Generation 2 of Prosperity is at toddler age, and Email is still in the Sim bin. I think play with my other sims too much. :-[
