I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on this as plenty of places that have opinions on this seem unreliable. Like one website I saw listed financial analyst as one possibility. However, with that job you’re actually talking with a ton of people.

Introverts can do the same jobs as extroverts... They aren't any less socially adjusted.

I'm an introvert. I'm also a Massage Therapist...it's a good job for an introvert but it's also mostly a part time thing.

Adding to what my last post about being whatever

it doesn't really matter what job you pick as an introvert, so people think working from home or whatever in some corner office is great for introverts but then they forget that the introvert has to actually like doing that job, so what's the point of suggesting a job without actually considering what the person likes to do?

being an introvert isn't a disability, why can't they choose the jobs they like to do and not worry about their "introversion" as some kind of handicap?

10 presidents that were introverts, including Obama... you think him being an introvert prevented him from leading groups of people? organizing communities? being president of the US?

Being an introvert doesn't mean you don't like to talk to people. If you're looking for jobs where you work alone and don't have to deal with people, that's a different question.

Take a free online Myers-Briggs test.
Then google "jobs for ISTJ's" (or whatever your personality type is.

That will give you the information you're looking for.

My best friend is a severe introvert and ironically enough works in "public health" - but it's perfect for her. She works for the state with other nerd types crunching numbers and compiling stats on issues that are important to her and rarely has to interact with anyone but other introverts. She took a big pay cut from her previous career, but she actually seems to enjoy her job.

Corporate accounting also seems like another introvert-friendly gig.

introversion is not a disability, there is no "scale" of how introverted someone is...

there is introvert, and then there is socially dysfunctional. Those two are not the same
