Why introverts can't always tell who likes them: Multitasking and nonverbal decoding
Lieberman and Rosenthal, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 80(2), 2001, 294-310. Most earlier studies found little link between extraversion and nonverbal decoding. The authors proposed and reported that introverts decode nonverbal cues less accurately than extraverts only when decoding is a secondary task, and linked the results to working memory and executive efficiency.
