Place in Aviation for introverts?

I am currently training toward CPL and have recently been identified by the Myers-Briggs type indicator as being more toward the introverted personality. From what I can gather, Airlines perform extensive assessment into a candidates personality type, my question is, will this be a major disadvantage in my potential career? FWIW I have deduced that airlines like QF are out of the question.

I have always maintained a strong motivation toward working for the Airlines and half the reason for this post is that once I complete my CPL I will be looking into applying to the various cadet schemes as well as the traditional GA charter companies. I am unsure whether it would be better for me to try directly for these, or to first join the military or engage another role more teamwork based to build some life experience.

Appreciate any serious feedback, PM or otherwise.
