We often get into the "socionics extroversion is not the same as being socially outgoing" discussion.
In socionics.org there is a ranking of types according to sociability, or "extroversion" in its colloquial usage:
Most sociable types: ESFj, ENFp, ESFp, ENFj
Average: ENTp, ESTp, ENTj, ESTj, ISFp, INFp, ISFj, INFj
Least sociable types: INTj, ISTj, INTp, ISTp
I think this is very accurate, and it's the people in the "average" ranking that tend to get confused with things like "how can I be an extrovert". Their self-perception can go either way.
I know of two ENTjs and one ENFj that had self-perception of introverts, and one INFj that had a self-perception of extrovert.

will usually try to understand the entire fundamental, visual and logic behind any system of interest even if that includes people and relationships. The understandings can be so complex that they can be unusable even to yourself i.e. knowing so much on a theoretical level that one is simply paralysed by what they know or at least, think they know since it's just a model. I've personally had to go through some un-learning realising that the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing (Socrates).
may appear extraverted, but they tend to be the ones that are most nervous when meeting new people. Also, ENFP's are the shyest of the extraverts, so socionics' system sucks.
