Extrovert. Not extravert. Source: am introvert.

Tldr A British English, O American English
A is also the way the inventor of the term spelled it, the way it is often spelled in science and the correct Latin form.
I'm not saying O is wrong, that's what happens in language, just adding the other points.
Yes, the article clearly spells out that she fucked up the translation.
Things evolve, I like that. Even if it isn't technically correct.
I have never heard an American say 'extravert' I am OK with that
