Thanks for this info. It would be interesting to know why these studies came to such different conclusions.

Do we need an introvert intervention? :) Just back away slowly from the computer…

Of course, such business leads to A.D.D.-like moments of multitasking mayhem. For example: I just visited two other sites on my mind before coming back to author this comment. Seriously. I wonder if there's a correlation between introverts and A.D.D. What was I wondering? Huh? Ooh, flikr photos are pretty. Okay, I'm back.</p> Introverted, I have a terribly busy mind.

I have noticed that extremely talkative people will talk, at length, about anything. A guy at work this morning talked and talked about the different items in the various compartments of the vending machines, relative costs, freshness, and so on while I was there toasting my bagel (not from the machine by the way). I don’t eat anything from those machines and neither does he so I’m not sure why he thought either one of us might care. Just needed to talk I guess. I was like, “Whatever dude.”</p> Well, I’ll not comment on the business (or lack) of other peoples brains. I have noticed that extremely talkative people will talk, at length, about anything.
