I'm not sure if this was directed at me or not, so I'll go ahead and clarify my comment anyway. 
I wasn't saying that one is inherently "better" than the other, I was just saying studies on happiness show that extroverts are more likely to report higher levels of happiness. In my human personality and adjustment class, we also explored the idea that extraversion was more accepted in Western society. One could make a point that the virtues of intraversion would be more accepted in the Eastern world.
