I consider myself very introverted, but I think that most of the items on the list you can learn to deal with whether you are extra- or introverted. Most essential though :
-Respect their need for privacy (yeah)
-Let them observe first in new situations (would make me more comfortable)
-Teach them new skills privately rather than in public (i would learn faster)
-Respect their introversion, don't remake them into extraverts (can get annoying sometimes)
-Give them time to think. Don't demand instant answers (OMG YESS!!)

Of course I can only speak for myself..
