Introverts Have More Brain Activity?
* * Beatles-Beatles writes to tell us Yahoo News is reporting that introverted individuals tend to have more brain activity in general, specifically in the frontal lobe. From the article: "The attitude that there's something wrong with introverted people is widely shared in society, where fast talk and snap decisions are often valued over listening, deliberation and careful planning. Extroverts seem to rule the world or, at least, the USA, which hasn't elected an introverted president for three decades, since Jimmy Carter."
Extroverts try to convince everyone how smart they are. Introverts assume everyone already knows it.
Glog!
What about perverts?
For introverts, there was also lot of activity in the area of the brain that relates to the visual processing and the desire of red staplers... but that's probably just a coincidence. ;)
"What do you think?" "I think 'What, do you think?!'"
So basically this is a colony of introverts, and we get a story about how great introverts are. What does that do for us in terms of teaching us? It feels like nerds needed to give each other a pat on the back.
I feel the karma burning, but hey, I got a 4 today, so I can afford a -1.
Ok, so you are saying that recent American Presidents have not had much frontal lobe activity...
You know, we'd guessed....

What is this "World" that you speak of? Is "World" one of the Middle States? Like between Kansas and Ohio? I never could remember those.
"Every time you see a story about a serial killer on TV, what do they do? They bring on the neighbor. And the neighbor says 'Well, he was always very quiet,' and someone in the room says, 'It's the quiet ones you gotta watch.' This sounds to me like a very dangerous assumption. I will bet you anything that while you're watching a quiet one a noisy one will fucking kill you! Suppose you're in a bar and one guy's sitting over on the side reading a book not bothering anybody and another guy's standing up at the front with a machete banging it on the bar saying 'I'LL KILL THE NEXT MOTHERFUCKER THAT COMES IN HERE!!!' " --George Carlin
I can't. I'm an introvert. I'd never do something so rash as to cold call someone. I'll let you extroverts take care of it.
I have only this to say:
"I think this line is mostly filler"
Introverted people tend to seriously overanalize
Oh, no, I bet Mr. Goatse is quite extroverted.
He certainly seems to be aggressively interested in sharing his innermost feelings to all and sundry.
Quite practiced at it, too.
I would think introverts would tend to avoid analizing at nearly all costs.
"All jocks ever think about is sports - all nerds ever think about is sex."
The difference being that jocks get invited to sports.
I keed! I keed! I joke-a with yooooooou!
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
Non-political...BAH!
Even you know very well that "American Cheese" isn't really cheese. It's mostly oil, and foreign oil at that.

Q: How can you tell an extroverted computer geek from an introverted computer geek?
A: The introverted computer geek will look at his shoes while he talks to you. The extroverted computer geek will look at your shoes while he talks to you.
Q: How do you tell if an Extroverted computer geek is Russian?
A: His shoes look at you while he is talking.
After 2+ years, it still doesn't get old.

B. The first President Bush was an ISTJ and thus an introvert.
And here I thought he was EVIL. Oh well, live and learn. (it's a joke...laugh dammit!)
