The only change I'd make is to call it the "extroverted sensing" and "introverted intuitive" lexicon ;)
My dad's an introvert but he's much more likely to be working in his shed/yard on a project than reading a book (ISTJ) and my sister's far more likely to be reading a book than to be out with friends (ENFP)
I remember, one afternoon, pulling out a book during a car ride with my (extroverted) stepmother, and being asked, "Why do you DO that?"
It took me a moment to figure out what she meant, before we got into a profitable discussion on exactly why I DO do that, and an agreement that when it was just we two in the car, I wouldn't.
Yeah... the boxes... they don't fit. Which would explain why I love getting lost on books, and also love having people around me. I spend more time trying to satisfy the extroversion... because when I want quiet and a book, I can stay home pretty easily. When I want company... I have to find other people who also feel like being social, and it needs to be the right people.
