So, just to be clear, this is the diagram that I came up with:

Shy People s--> Actors --> Exuberant --> Extroverts

I wouldn't focus too much on actually trying to diagram the ACs, it is easier to simply understand them in respect to the above diagram.

To your second question, "some exuberant people who are actors are shy" must be true because all actors will be exuberant and all exuberant people are extroverts. Since some shy people are actors, it follows that some must be all three of the following qualities in the diagram. For example, we could break it down into numbers:

Shy People(1) s--> Actors(101) --> Exuberant(101) --> Extroverts(101)

As you can see, there is one shy person that is a part of each of the groups. Therefore, it would follow that at least 1 (or some) people would be both exuberant, an actor, and shy.

Hope that helps!

would that person be extroverted too?

Yes! Because all exuberant people are also extroverts!
