Like so many situations in life, you have to communicate. Express to the potential roommate that you really need them to open up and share so you can get a good gut feel on who they are and make a great guess as to your mutual compatibility.
Most introverts I know are going to be uncomfortable in that scenario anyway, but if you explain the reason you need to make them uncomfortable they are also used to dealing with their own reactions and controlling them when they have to. You should get better results than just glossing over it because you can't get them to respond.
