[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm concerned that the new emphasis on community service, etc. will once again privilege extroverts over introverts. There are lots of very bright people (ahem, myself included) who prefer to work quietly and alone and who really don't turn their smarts towards organizing tasks -- organizing others, getting people 'pumped' about some project. It's possible to be really intelligent without having the personality of an aerobics instructor -- and top schools should recognize that and seek out more of the quiet, brilliant types -- even if to the extroverts we seem dull.[/quote] I don't see this at all. There's a lot more to community service than "organizing" and "pumping." Such as, for instance, actually doing work? I also don't see that there's any lack of opportunity for quiet, brilliant types.[/quote]
