Susan Cain wrote a excellent book entitled Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking (New York, Crown Publisher, 2012). She examines the difference between introverts and extroverts, in terms of physiology, behavior, and preferences.
Here is an except about how acknowledging your tendencies can be used to develop your environment..
"Imagine how much better you'll be at this sweet-spot game once you're aware of playing it. You can set up your work, your hobbies, and your social life so that you spend as much time inside your sweet spot as possible. People who are aware of their sweet spots have the power to leave jobs that exhaust them and start new and satisfying businesses. They can hunt for homes based on the temperaments of their family members--with cozy window seats and other nooks and crannies for the introverts, and large, open living-dining space for extroverts."
