This is something I don't agree with, because it's circular. If someone has an extravered base function, he's an extravert, and since the base function is extravert, that means that the aformentioned base function is commonly associated with extraverted behavioural traits.
Yes, but when you call someone an introvert, the automatic association is that the person is shy. Calling someone an extrovert implies that they are outgoing. However, social behavior has nothing to do with whether one is an "introvert" or "extrovert" in Socionics.
