curious about the breakdown between introverts and extroverts who swim, and what they swim. are distance folks more inclined to be introverted, and sprinters, the opposite?

I'm definitely introverted - I've always been the shy, quiet one. I always thought I was a sprinter up through middle and high school because I only swam summer league (only 50's, 100 free, and 100 IM) and did better in the 50 events. Now I'm in college, swimming year round, and not sure what I am. My 50's haven't improved in the past year, but my 100 IM has dropped several seconds. I haven't gotten brave enough to try a 200 or 500 in a meet yet, though.
