I think that the only reason this is so is because writing is generally perceived as a solitary activity. As such, it would attract a large number of introverts. The reality of this job, however, is that we have to take input from a lot of external sources, and that is the forte of the extrovert.

For example, I wouldn't at all be surprised if most tech writers were Ixxx
rather than Exxx because, in my 25+ years in the profession, I've come
across a LOT of introverts and not nearly as many Extroverts.
