[QUOTE="Minita, post: 64392, member: 3802"] The brains of shy or introverted individuals might actually process the world differently than their more extroverted counterparts, a new study suggests. About 20 percent of people are born with a [URL='http://www.livescience.com/9507-study-personality-change.html']personality trait[/URL] called sensory perception sensitivity (SPS) that can manifest itself as the tendency to be inhibited, or even [URL='http://www.livescience.com/5665-neurotic-die-prematurely.html']neuroticism[/URL]. The trait can be seen in some children who are "slow to warm up" in a situation but eventually join in, need little punishment, cry easily, ask unusual questions or have especially deep thoughts, the study researchers say. The new results show that these highly sensitive individuals also pay more attention to detail, and have more activity in certain regions of their brains when trying to process visual information than those who are not classified as highly sensitive. Individuals with this highly sensitive trait prefer to take longer to make decisions, are more conscientious, need more time to themselves in order to reflect, and are more easily bored with small talk, research suggests. Previous work has also shown that compared with others those with a highly sensitive temperament are more bothered by noise and crowds, [URL='http://www.livescience.com/6252-caffeine-sensitivity-increase-age.html']more affected by caffeine[/URL], and more easily startled. That is, the trait seems to confer sensitivity all around. Recently, there is a recognition of introversion as a legitimate personality type. It is about time! There is a greater appreciation, or at least acceptance, of the introvert than it has been in modern American society. Studies show that introverts are usually more creative and thoughtful than extroverts. Introverts have good empathic and listening skills than extroverts do not have. Introverts usually do not have to constantly the center of attention that extroverts must be. Introverts are usually more self-assured as they do not have to constantly prove themselves or try to conform as extroverts do. Psychological studies substantiate that 70% of gifted children are introverts. Introverts have other special gifts i.e. being able to think outside the box. [/QUOTE]
