That does not sound like anything dominant ... do not you guys even bother to read context? His loner tendencies developed from being a non-french speaker and a minority, and the fact that he was from the aristocricy did not seem to help to make him popular either. That has nothing to do with introversion. In fact, it is totally possible for him to still be an extrovert and act that way, as NT types [extroverted and introverted both] tend to be loners. Not sure about the other ones ...

There are a few other quotes I keep seeing people use that contextually mean absolutly nothing as far as type goes and sound really silly when you read the context.
What your saying about his language and him being a minority does make a lot of sense to contributing to his unpopularity. People that are different are usually scolded at and treated like dirt. Being a loner can attribute to introverted and extraverted types. However, I doubt an dominant could be a loner.
I was talking about this statement:

Napoleon set foot in France for the first time in the winter of 1778, a thin, sallow nine year-old, accustomed to the warmth of the Mediterranean, suddenly alone on the windswept plains of northern France. He could hardly speak French.

JOURQUIN: He thinks of himself as a Corsican. He is surrounded by students who are the children of French aristocrats. And they have nothing in common with this little foreigner. And since he is quite proud, he becomes a loner.

CARRINGTON: When he was in school in Brienne in continental France, where he was very much laughed at and bullied for being a barbarous Corsican, he dreamt all the time of…liberating Corsica. But he did something quite exceptional. He conquered his conquerors. He got the better of the French.

That does little to prove that he was an introvert or an extrovert, he just never fit in totally and in result decided to be content with not fitting in.
