People who don't care about other people's opinions aren't that common and aren't called extroverts. They're generally called sociopaths :-)

Actually the definition of extraversion is deriving gratification from that which is outside the self, so I'd say it's actually introverts who are less likely to care what others think.


I'm pretty sure sociopaths care in a sense that other people's opinions is what allows them to climb the social ladder and gain power.
