It's a question I've wondered about. Is it cause and effect or do people who are not naturally extroverted pour their time into becoming experts in narrow fields?

I'm assuming you meant "tired", and yes, introverts feel drained by social interaction. That doesn't mean they don't do it. I am all the way over on the introvert side of the I/E section of the Myers-Briggs, but due to training, and conscious decisions, I have pretty good social skills and interact well with others. It does mean sometimes I need recharging time without any other people around.I doubt your truly introverted then. Introverts literally get tied and overwhelmed by social interaction particularly when its more then a small group. Introverts are sensitive to dopamine and extraverts require higher then normal amounts.

A couple of things were plain. Our grades and attendance did not matter at all. The permanent record was bunk. All that mattered were our scores on that aptitude test and we had scored exceptionally well. What's more, we realized that the nerds weren't always smart. Their apparent braininess, their pose of intellectual superiority, was more often than not simply a cover for their social awkwardness and physical cowardice. And this made sense. While others had suffered countless indignities for the past three years, we had figured out how to liberate ourselves and have fun. How could we not have seen this as a sign of intelligence?
