Well, I think a lot of kids who work really hard on their test scores/grades 24/7 tend to be a bit more introverted and less likely to be a strong leader in their ECs because of their shyness.

A friend of mine ran for a position for a club against someone really outgoing. She lost because nobody knew who she was though she would have been a fantastic officer due to her organization skills and responsibility. I felt badly when I heard.

To answer the original question, I really do agree with the poster. Though I love introverted people, I find that you can't get anything done if everyone's being polite and shy. And also, they're less likely to really get into the campus spirit. I mean, for the college's perspective, you'd probably want someone who was more involved within it--and more likely to represent the college positively for that reason. And the simple fact that college is about expanding your horizons and meeting different types of people from different backgrounds.
