The spelling is extraverts. Please

Not really.

We’ve checked six standard dictionaries and all of them list “extrovert” as the principal spelling for someone with an outgoing or gregarious personality, though five include “extravert” as an acceptable variant.

Extravert, on the other hand, is another way of saying extrovert that was originally used by Carl Jung. [...] it appears the most common and proper way to use the term outside of technical journals is with the "o," though who knows; maybe this will develop into an Oxford comma situation.

extravert noun /ˈekstrəvɜːt/ /ˈekstrəvɜːrt/ (also more frequent extrovert)
