Lets face it - most of us spend a lot of time in front of the computer working on their own.
How could this possibly lead to an extrovert personality?
Of course, today things change slightly as you Skype and chat around the world using your computer. But that impact may be visible if you run the pole in 30 years again. And then again, it might be the same because some might become developers because they can concentrate on a difficult issue shutting out all outside implulses (which would be part of an introvert personality, yes?).
I wonder about the impact of that pole on related things, like team work, or continuesly learning...

Well - you're confusing one's work with how one interacts.
Simple enough answer. When aforesaid coder gets done for the day, he goes to a bar and describes excitedly his progress to all who will listen - maybe even buying a round because he solved a difficult problem.
That's how one can be a coder or anything else, at work, and be extroverted (or introverted) on one's own time. I would speculate that that the opposite could be true: I'd find it rather surprising if an introvert's 'day job' was as a motivational speaker.

wow, it works …  , I am 50-50 as I thought. Great test...

Well, according to them I'm 60% introvert. I shall go and tell some random strangers and that should balance it out to a tidy 50-50.
It's also interesting to discover that I have the same personality type as Albert Einstein, Bill Gates and some people out of Game of Thrones. I don't know whether or not that is a good thing because I've never seen Game of Thrones.

My surroundings regard me as an extrovert.
In truth I only look like one, and feel like an introvert living in an extroverted body.
I feel very insulted by this poll!

Don't get me wrong, American are striving to be extrovert. Not me. I don't want my manager's job. I don't want to talk to people all day long. Proud to be coder and having fun with 0's and 1's. And being a pessimist allows me to see things alternatively outside the box.

Introvert, in the form of "leave me alone", "get off my lawn", and "do we HAVE to go out?"
But... I'm in a writer's group. They went and made me president, so I have to sit up front and wave the gavel, lead the group, and speak in public in front of 10 - 20 people. So when the bursts of extrovert behavior come upon me, I ham it up for the crowd and produce a pleasing performance. This started ten years ago, about six months in they started calling me "President for Life" and I'm still stuck with it.
The good news is they are writers. Talk about a bunch of introverts!

I'm a poster child for introvert who successfully fakes being an extrovert.

Exactly! Introvert by nature, who has learned how to fake extrovert-ness enough to survive in a business environment.

I'm also a bass player in a band and we're giving concerts. Seems extrovert? Yes. But in reality, no. On stage, I'm isolated and audience can not reach there. I'm in safe with my band.

That's exactly why I answered that it depends on the situation, as well. Playing guitar on stage. I'm thinking to myself, well that's definitely extrovert, but not really.

In almost all social settings I am introverted (read shy/awkward).
In my comfort zones (home/work) I can be extroverted under the right circumstances.
My plan is to live forever ... so far so good

One of my pet peeves is when someone asks me what my "social" is, referring to my social security number. Because this annoys me, my usual response is, "mild introversion." It usually gets a chuckle. When it doesn't I am annoyed that much more.

I don't think there is a middle ground. It's like a battery, either you re-charge from being around other people, or you discharge from being around people (and have to be alone to recharge).

Please no more birthday parties for me

I've removed my birthday from every possible place. Told HR not to publish it. Enjoying the silence...

Very wise, finally you get your well deserved rest

Curious! In the US, privacy laws are such that (at least these days) HR would be in some bit trouble if they released anyone's birth date. That's very sensitive information, useful for Identity Theft, in particular - and embarrassing balloons and nauseating sheet cake, as well.
