I read it that way at first too.
Being stuck inside and having to read the news all the time, you see p*son you think Prison over Person. As all you see are articles about so and so going to prison.
We need to help out those extroverts (Score:2)
Sure, the extroverts are able to talk their way into higher paying jobs that they are unqualified for, while the same job an introvert who happens to be qualified for just couldn't get the job, because they couldn't talk the ear off the other extrovert hiring manager.

It's false to think that "extroverts = needs to socialize" and "introverts = needs to isolate".
There are plenty of extroverts who enjoy spending time by themselves, and plenty of introverts who enjoy schmoozing with others.
The primary difference is where the types of people get energy. Extroverts get amped up in social events, while introverts generally get drained by social events. But extroverts can work in solitary activities, and introverts in very social situations. It just means they do find the scena
