I'm just curious how typical my advisor's behavior is so it's interesting to hear a range of answers.

Yes, which is why I though it would be interesting to hear a diversity of responses.

A related question: If you and your advisor are at the same conference, do they take the initiative to introduce you to colleagues that they think you should meet or do they ignore you unless you specifically ask for an introduction to someone? Who takes the initiative?

Does your advisor attend your panel at conferences if you give a paper, assuming they are at the conference?
