I am an engineer, have an engineering degree. Fully disagree with your assertion.

I'll fall back on my anecdotal evidence of the monthly keg parties that the engineering department threw to counter your example.

Again the statement that most engineers are introverted is in no way defensible and its insulting to try and group us all together like that.

Of course its defensible. From the abstract: "Engineers scored higher on Tough-Mindedness and Intrinsic Motivation; but lower on Assertiveness, Conscientiousness, Customer Service Orientation, Emotional Stability, Extraversion, Image Management, Optimism, Visionary Style, and Work Drive."
