I'm used to social anxiety people (cant ask for extra ketchup) on the internet labelling themselves introverts, hope this article is not a trendsetter to label people who take bare minimum care in written communications.

Next article will list behaviors like:

- if a communication has multiple questions, introvert answers all of them instead of picking first/last

- they dont say "hi" and wait for a reply

- they say "yes, file is deleted" instead of a "yes" that could mean two or more things in context

- they say "I will look into it now/later/never" instead of radio silence

The novel insight I got from the article was that introverts in fact may be better communicators than extroverts, even thought we typically think of introverts as people who don't communicate. Introverts communicate less but with better quality, according to this article.

MSN is being very mean to my iphone, so I duck searched the title and came up with many similar results.

The MSN article was 3 or 4 phone screens down, right past this very HN post. LOL.

"I need some time to process all these results." :-)
