Also, I don't like how the last one seems to imply intelligent and creative people are more likely to be introvert. I may just be reading that wrong of course.
i dont think that's what the last one is implying at all
also those myths are just blurbs taken from a book that talked in-depth about introverts; they don't touch deeply upon the subject; they just wanted to get the point across
shrug
i'm an introvert myself and that article really spoke to me; i dislike being misunderstood and mistaken
tl;dr opinions i thought it was interesting and helped clear up some misconceptions

Re: Fun Facts/Useless Trivia
The Hunter, an enemy seen in HL2: Episode 1, and fought in Episode 2, was originally called "The Mini-Strider" due to their similar appearance to the massive synth's. In fact, the Hunter you saw was still a Mini Strider before getting a new skin in Episode 2 and a name change. Not sure about movement/attack differences though.

FACT: In ancient Egypt there was a cult that surrounded crocodiles. Up to 1,000,000 crocodiles were ritually sacrificed to appease the gods to heal people and such.
It was pretty cool shit, they mummified the crocodiles and wrapped them in baby crocodiles.

Re: Fun Facts/Useless Trivia
I'm an introvert, but my dick is an extrovert, ladies.
Re: Fun Facts/Useless Trivia
Well that seems to defeat the point of a fetish in my case. Or worse, brings to mind someone who gets a hard-on at watching people do everything but sex.Stranaton wrote:Fact:

Stuff goes here later.
Re: Fun Facts/Useless Trivia
I think it implies that. Or the opposite that introverts are more likely to bee creative and intelligent. Either way it's more a correlation than causation.Syobon wrote:Also, I don't like how the last one seems to imply intelligent and creative people are more likely to be introvert.

Like that many people with higher than average IQ are left handed.
And that was my trivia for today.

IQ is a shitty measurement for intelligence anyway.

Re: Fun Facts/Useless Trivia
I didn't say otherwise. It's all just correlations. There's something else that can cause both and so you see both together more often than not.Syobon wrote:IQ is a shitty measurement for intelligence anyway.
Another correlation: Most Blonde people have more hair than black haired people, but most black haired people have thicker hair than blondes.
