Introverts Have More Brain Activity?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the looking-only-as-far-as-the-nearest-computer-lab dept.

* * 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."

    C. Anything linked to Jimmy Carter is unlikely to be considered positive.

    Same here. Maybe some people have less spare brainpower than us so their brains run out of it before they pass out.

    Sorry. But /. is definitely NOT the experts on this. I believe the GNAA is leaps and bounds ahead of /. in this regard.
