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."

    Carl, cut this crap out.
    Fuck off. You're just jealous cause I throught up and IMPLEMENTED what you couldn't. Maybe if you got off your lazy ass for once, you could make something of yourself.

    It would be interesting to analyze the different TYPES of CREATIVITY - and whether there are different elements of Creative traits more geared towards Introverts or Extroverts. e.g. Musicians, Writers, Artists, Actors etc...

    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.

    I like how people with no social prowess and no real popularity among the normal, popular, attractive, reproducing members of society like to find all of these absurd justifications for why they're still better than everyone else.

    Guess what, geniuses - you may have more brain activity than a social butterfly, but you're not the one getting laid by some random hottie you picked up at the club on a Friday or Saturday night, are you? Didn't think so.

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