If you are good at analytics, maybe you should stick to it. He was being blunt, but it's better than him pretending that you are a great fit. You don't come across as a people person on city-data, either.
Next time, walk out of the interview or excuse yourself and refuse to continue on. For that interviewer to ask if you're an introvert or extrovert says a lot about him. How rude!!!
Edit: Why'd you delete your post? I'm sure others would have loved to see the type of BS going on out there.

How do you come off as "not a people person on city-data?" I know that sounds like I'm being facetious, but this is a serious question. lol

By announcing it to city-data that he doesn't talk to people outside of his circle of friends and family. A people person can easily talk to strangers and other people that they have never met.
I'm an introvert and hardly talk to people unless they're friends and family. I then realized you have to fake it to make it by trying to be an extrovert who cracks jokes every few minutes.

Honestly - even though he deleted his OP - being an introvert is not the kiss of death.
In fact, every time I am asked my strengths and weaknesses, I mention being an introvert as my weakness only to use it to state that it makes me very good at analytical problem solving because I love the puzzle of it all and that it also helps me to be a very creative and critical thinker, but that it is a perceived problem around the workplace. ....but I'm also not someone who lacks social skills, a sense of humor, or emotional intelligence, either.
I just like to go home and be alone for a little after a day's work.
The whole introvert-extrovert thing is so widely misunderstood. I'm social, talkative, chat up strangers regularly, spent 10 years in sales & fundraising, etc. But I consider myself an introvert. Introvert doesn't mean you're shy or quiet. It means rather than being energized by people and crowds (extrovert), your energy is drained and you need time to re-charge your batteries after prolonged social interaction. We also tend to prefer small gatherings over big parties. Sure, an introvert may be shy and quiet, but that's not a general rule.
These terms are regularly misused on the relationship forums as well.
As to the original OP, IIRC she sounded like a very aggressive interviewer and not someone with whom I'd be interested in working.
