How do introverts enjoy life?

I recently came across some brain imaging research which showed that extroverted brains light up a certain way when they see people's faces. They do not light up in the same way when they see animals, trees and other objects. The brains of introverts (suggestions for another term please, much appreciated!) by comparison also light up when they see people, but their brains light up in the same way when they see other objects such as trees and animals. So I conclude from this that both types of people find the same things interesting, but extroverts find people more interesting while introverts find people equally interesting. The result is that introverts enjoy a much wider set of activities that do not involve people at all while extroverts prefer almost all of their activities to have a social component. For the same reason, extroverts are more bound up with the processes of social power while introverts might be less interested in conformity or status, which are fundamentally social goods, because they have other equally as enjoyable options and conformity and status seeking have associated costs.
