One of the big problems for extroverts is integrity. Because extroverts are likeable and assertive, it is relatively easy for them to manipulate others. My personal rule in making new acquaintances is that they must earn my trust. I've learned from hard experience. Extroverts must submit their manipulative abilities to the will of Christ!!! Whether they are in sales, politics or evangelism, the integrity of Christ must guide their work.
Introverts have to remember that it is not God's will for them to be alone. The command of God is that we love (agape) one another. One cannot love in isolation. Just working to fulfill our physical needs requires human contact at some point. But God wants us to be actively involved in the lives of other people. Going into all the world with the Gospel cannot be done in isolation, and as I understand it, that is Christ's command to every Christian. We introverts may have to pick and choose different methods of obeying it, but at some point we have to get away from our computer screens and work with actual people!
Grace & Peace;
