It also said something about the percentage of introverted vs extroverted being something like 20 to 80%, so there you go, you're part of another minority.

I'm not sure where exactly you heard that statistic, but I probably wouldn't want to trust anything else from that source in the future if I were you. The actual percentage is a lot closer to 50-50. (The Myers-Briggs website was the most reliable looking source I find, and it claims introverts as being 50.7% of the population to extroverts' mere 49.3%)

The problem of course, is that for people on the far end of the introvert bellcurve, (such as myself and probably a good number of other people on this site for instance) even the "moderate" introverts tend to look a lot like extroverts. Which is probably the same part of the population where most of the ~15-20% estimates come from.
