I suspect that if this study was done by a group of introverts, a different conclusion would be made.

Extroverts are always first out of the door to the pub, leaving the customer in the lurch. Surely the very concept of a person who is simultaneously extorveted and conscientious is an oxymoron?

It was just last week that that the Uiversity Of Navarra in collaboration with the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston did a report on smoking and depression. It was in that report that their research claimed that depression was not linked to genetics and was an environmental issue. What you really have here is are you depressed because you are introverted or are you introverted because you are depressed. If you go by the report that I mentioned you are introverted because you are depressed. My personal feelings are that it is an interesting topic and it needs a lot more research.

Taking my own example, I am rather introverted, but I am nice and open minded towards people surrounding me. Also, I do have a positive vision of the world...frankly, I don't know if everything can be explained by genetic inheritance... We are also shaped by our experiences and environment. Our vision of life has a major influence on the way we behave...I have had some extraverted pupils in the past, who, without showing any sign, suddenly became severely depressed... my two cents to the subject.
