I think the extro/introvert split is unhelpful, people have preferences for and against different social activities. E.g. I can enjoy parties but not meetings, or prefer to read in silence but work as part of a group. The article is trying to take a few examples and extrapolate a much wider theory out of them.
Disliking meetings and reading in a crowded environment doesn’t seem like much evidence that you’re neither introverted nor extroverted (except that you’re not one of Those Nasty Extraverts that keep supposedly fawning over meetings), which doesn’t seem like much evidence that the introvert/extrovert split isn’t helpful. I can’t enjoy parties or meetings, prefer to read in silence and work alone.
