shouldn't the extroverts be allowed to vote multiple times?

LOL Where did you get that idea from?

In all honesty, I believe all people have a bit of both. It's just down to the given surroundings, people and what kind of mental state one is in.
I had to look up extravert, because I thought it meant extra green (vert is green in French)Tongue Just kidding... I did however look it up in case I was missing something. I was.... I don't particularly subscribe to the definition of extrovert, as I live equally much in my own head - as I do in company with other people. I can be extremely self-centred and negligent of the world - build myself a fortress and just listen to music for days on end not talking to anybody. 
Then again, if you place me in a room with 20 people I've never met; I'll have spoken to everybody inside 30 minutes for sure. Hell I talk like a machine gun when I'm with other people, though I tend to think of myself as one who is capable of sticking my finger in the dirt and pick up on the general consensus - who's turn is it to talk, is it time for me to shut my face and roll out the ol eardrums.
I think I learned a lot from working with kids actually. Strike that, I learned a lot from my colleaguesLOL A fair estimate of the gender mix is probably 90 percent women and then 5 percent men and the last part somewhere in betweenTongue Anyway, sitting in a lunch room with 20 odd women who all want to talk to you and hear the one mail opinion on something, has taught me to listen more intensely. (Alright, it has also learned me to shut down, when The Bold & The Beautiful suddenly starts doing live re-runs in front of meDead)

Alright, I'll vote for extrovert - I am pretty good with people in real life situations. I have no problem in acting out and humiliating myself in public either, which I think is one of the things people dig the most about me. Always ready to take one for the teamEmbarrassed
My main advice to folks(mostly the teens) on here, who would like to be less introverted would probably be to shut off their computers and take a walk. Most of the times I feel introverted it's because I've spent far too much time in front of the computer. Just like in every other aspect of life, communication - like in face to face communication - takes some training. If you spend two thirds of your life in front of a screen moaning over your own failure to be outgoing and talkative, how on earth is any of that going to change? 
I know there are some who have all kinds of diagnoses, but I don't believe in half of those if I'm honest. I have met so many people who use these diagnoses as an excuse to live their lives, simply because it's too hard work. I am not saying all are like that, but I do know quite a few.

Hmm....probably about 50/50 for me though more extrovert than intro.
Dealing with the public daily one learns to be sociable and outgoing since it helps business....but at home or with strangers I'm a bit more intro depending on the situation.

I don't really know... Extrovert I suppose, but I do think about things a lot.

Very interesting book, speaking as someone whose career has suffered due to me being "quiet" I found it very enlightening.

Introvert
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

One might guess from that which one I am.

Seems to me that many introverts wish they were more extraverted.  Not me, I'm fairly happy as I am.  just shut up!  LOL

I'm a talkative introvert LOL

Wow! So many introverts here, and so many of us uncomfortable in larger gatherings. We should all meet up sometime and...ermm.
