Interesting question- at first glance I think you might be onto something.
Extroverts by nature might enjoy dealing a lot with human behavior, while introverts prefer to study the processes which underly behavior..

Good question.
Any occupation that allows you to focus on the subject matter without having to deal with other people can lead to or be attractive to introverted people.
I started out as an entomological taxonomist. That is a job far removed from human interaction. I still was able to supervise other laboratory technicians as they worked with our specimens, but the main focus was on the work, not the people. I was happy having my eyes to a microscope eight hours per day. As you can imagine, I was not too exciting to be around. Yet, I was able to find an outlet for my human needs as well by participating in ballroom dance and church activities. Eventually, I evolved into environmental studies, kind of half way in between science and liberal arts. Finally, I developed into an attorney, as human oriented as any career can be.
So if you look at my life as an example of your question, then yes, my introverted days were focused on science and my human interaction days turned to liberal arts, namely the law. It takes a certain extroversion to be involved with human demeanor and the focus on science, math, etc. is more attractive to the introvert.
Still, I think this is a generality and not necessarily a solid rule. I am sure that there are plenty of exceptions to the pattern.

No, I think you are trying to draw a parallel between attitudes and type of study that is not valid. However, the fact that you are attempting to find connections shows that you possibly are an introverted type who thinks in terms of relationships. Keep on looking for relationships and you will find valid ones and invalid ones.
As for your specific question...
An introverted person would possibly like any kind of study, natural or social. An extrovert, however, might prefer talking to studying, playing with people rather than studying about them, being active rather than passive, and so on.

No, but people with a knack for natural science are often Introverted.
and People with a knack for social science/skills are often extroverted, but not the other way around.

i dont know. i'm more introverted than extroverted, and i'm going to school for natural science, but i love theatre almost just as much and if i weren't doing science i would be doing theatre (which is considered extroverted i guess).
