What's the difference between an introverted and an extroverted mathematician? The introverted mathematician looks at his shoes when talking to you; the extroverted mathematician looks at your shoes when talking to you.

Speaking from experience, computer science isn't much better. It's full of weird, anti-social loners who lean libertarian.

EDIT: I mean that I've worked with some real hardcore libertarians—people who believe in replacing all government bureaucracy with blockchain "smart contracts".

Hmmm... yeah. Mathematcians are weird. ILI who gets nervous breakdown and nearly yells when someone makes a logic mistake, LII whose sense of being right is matter of life and death - lots of throat cutting logic ensues. Anyway, academic math is bit "meh".

I was okay at it in school, but lacked any interest.

Never bothered with Math after starting college except for stats ofc. But main math classes such as calculus - I just had zero interest in.

Jung type can be said among predispositions to good results in some regions, what arises a quantity of some types there.

I know this is a joke, but a lot of introverted mathematicians aren't really that shy in my experience. At worst most of them come off as too proud of themselves because they think they are smarter than the average.

I'd also say that there is no much shyness in that field.

Many people who just want to do some minor in math are not big fans of mathematicians' confrontational nature. There are exceptions. Extroverted ones may even look more aloof than introverted due to nature of the field [ since extroverted engagement of the activity is not very useful].

In terms of IME's logic is external.
