The problem (identified in my 1967 edition of 'Psychology Made Simple')* is with the Jungian identification of Extraversion and Introversion's characteristics, e.g.:

	Extraversion		Introversion
**(1)	Interested in the externalities of objects and people.		Interested in his own thoughts and feelings.
(2)	Lives in the present and values possessions and success.		Lives in the future and values his own standards and sentiment.
(3)	Interested in the visible, tangible world of concrete reality.		Interested in the underlying forces and laws of nature.
(4)	Practical, Commonsense.		Imaginative, Intuitive.
(5)	Actions, Decisions.		Analysis, Planning; Hesitates.

However, attempts to apply these contrasts to the Circles may throw up Circle inconsistencies or inadequacies, e.g.

[Extracts from text from ms diagram shown above, excluding the 'DIVISION' and its line:]

		C~
		(I) (...own thoughts & feelings??) (I) (Values his 'own' standards & sentiments)	'EXTRAVERTS'
(SCHIZO PHRENICS)	MUSICIANS, COMEDIANS R~ Intuitive (I) Imaginative		S~ (I) Interested in the underlying forces of nature	OFFICERS
G~	Planning?	☼	(E) Actions, Decisions & Analysis? (I)	DOCTORS, LAWYERS M~
			(E) Common sense, Practical	OFFICERS
'INTROVERTS'	Interested in the visible, tangible world of concrete reality./→ J~ ARTISTS, ANXIETY	(E) Values possessions & success) (E) External world of objects... (& people?)	U~
	(MPs)	A~

There is a striking hemispherical division, but it noticeably ignores the Extraversion – Introversion polarity on the Circles. As that is based on an occupational birthdates survey**** from which the other results (if I recall them correctly) do fit the Circles (and thus this placing of these characteristics), one is bound to ask what (a) Jungians (b) the surveyors and (c) I mean by Extravert and Introvert. It is perhaps slightly surprising to find the division# being used at all in a serious survey; but it was only a newspaper report.
