there are far more introverts than extroverts

Citation needed. Badly. I'm an introvert and it's pretty obvious from where I stand that the world revolves around the needs of extroverts.

Sadly, my statement is a confident opinion.

When you look at actual studies, the numbers are all over the place. Some say 30% of people are introverted, some say 50:50, some say 57% introverted.

My opinion gets weighted by these 2 observations:

There are 10-20 people on the stage, and thousands in each audience. There is a difference between social neediness and extroversion. Even center introverts will have their thing they enjoy doing to be social from time to time, like going to a play, sporting event, or movie. The extroverts are on the stage. Only a small percent of the audience is actually extroverted.
Depending on how the data is collected, extroverts, or people who still try to convince themselves they are extroverts, are the ones who are going to approach the study and answer, so naturally, any figure you get in this kind of study, double your figures for introvert so you can factor for all the introverts that ducked your survey.
