I quess alot of this is based on anecdotal, first hand experiences, which will probablly be different for each of us. But it is challenging trying to get personalities to get along, in general.
At work and in daily life I've found that most extroverts feel cramped by other extroverts. They don't like battling for center stage. And imagine having a whole crew of extroverts. Too many chiefs and no Indians.
On the flip side, having a bunch of introverts on a job site will often mean a lack of communication. And then you put a real yakkity extrovert with a real quiet introvert and everytime you come around the corner, the former is talking (with no production) and the introvert is slaving away.
Now that I think of it, if there were an intovert/extrovert scale I'd probably get the best production from a bunch of guys that were rated '5', sort of in the middle. Not too intro- or extroverted. They will communicate enough and work as a team and not worry who the "leader" is.
