Introverts prefer mountains

I'm not sure I buy this. Sure the mountains can make you secluded. However, I prefer mountains because I'm into action sports - and where else can I get good mountain biking, whitewater kayaking, backpacking, and hang gliding? Or maybe that makes me an introvert that prefers things to move quickly?

You can be into all those things AND be an introvert. It's about how you connect with people or not.

I'm not saying the study is true or anything, just that it could be. I find it interesting that in a mountainous region, there's less paths in/out, so it's like a civilization level example of a controlled social experience. Ports and to a certain extent plains allow approach from everywhere.

You seem to prefer activities where you can be alone.
