While there are some interesting nuggets of information here, I think the author falls into the same trap as the myths he's trying to bust: overgeneralisation. Still, the book sounds interesting.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm generally an introvert, but I don't mind some small talk when I'm not doing anything. It lets people know you're still on good terms with them, and helps dispel that "aloof nerds" stereotype.
But really, I think every article should have a disclaimer that the findings/claims may not apply to everyone. :)
If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."
I looked up the characteristics in wikipedia, all applies for me except for one:
> Behave calmly and with restraint. They walk, eat and talk slowly.
I actually move fast phased and I may even look nervous, I feel that I need to keep the adrenaline flowing both for physical movement and mental actitivies.
I am VERY introverted and I've actually read the book this post mentions. I have always had a question about it: Why is it printed in blue? As if introverts are so delicate reading black ink would somehow scar us?
