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."

    This topic is pretty universal. Sure, there are some cultural differences which can cause a greater propensity towards introverted personality traits (ie. my original homeland Finland). Having said that, I don't think you gave much thought into your post and it has the appearance of Anti-US troll posts commonly found on here. Are you an extrovert by any chance?

    BTW. I'm speaking as a Canadian in case you thought I was an American.
