There is LeBron James, whom some consider to be a voracious reader and a quiet family man. A few years ago, the prominent investment manager Raymond Dalio set out to understand the personalities of people who "shape" the world. Considering his clout he managed to give MBTI Questionnaires to some of the top people in the world. His list included people like Elon musk, Bill Gates, Lee Kuan Yew (Singapore's first prime minister who is credited with creating modern Singapore), Muhammad Yunus (a Nobel prize-winning economist and the leader of Bangladesh's current government), and others. As I remember, Dalio's list was mostly entrepreneurs and politicians. Despite that, more than half of the people on his list turned out to be introverts.
