Merriam-Webster though it may be, it still doesn't actually get to the meat of how modern psychology uses the terms. In fact, it strikes me as a sort of antiquated way of approaching the topic due to the fact that the term mental life is even mentioned.

These days we don't tend to think of intro/extroversion as relating to someone's inner landscapes - so to speak - so much as we tend to think of it as the way social interaction affects a person's mental resources.

It's just a dictionary though? It's not the DSM.

Yeah, but you're unlikely to find mention of introversion and extroversion in the DSM because they aren't disorders per se.

Now I'm slightly bothered that someone might look this up in the dictionary out of curiosity and get the wrong impression. Hm. Oh well.

They aren't disorders "per se", they aren't disorders at all, and it is incorrect that there is a "psychological definition" of them beyond the Webster dictionary. They are not clinical terms beyond any other personality trait.

The entire discipline of the study of personality in psychology begs to fucking differ with you.

It's not my discipline, but it does exist, and it does have its own definitions.
