Ah. Well, people these day often do blame more on introversion than is warranted. After all, it is but one of the four axes Type uses, but most folks have little to no sense of what the others signify.
ADHD has been theorized to [sometimes|always] be a pathologization of N+P. The E would seem to be specific to the hyperactive variety, while Introversion seems more congruent with the inattentive variety.
(I think this theory is at least somewhat wrong, because it seems likely to me a very large percentage of people diagnosed with ADHD are S types, not N. But that said, I'm willing to grant that normal healthy ENTPs and ENFPs may be read as pathological and diagnosed erroneously as having ADHD. But then, so might any P type. So...)
What sorts of personality quirks were you thinking?
