An interesting thing about introversion/extroversion and testing: Assuming that I remember details right from a class I took over twenty years ago, taking caffeine before a test improves performance for introverts but not extroverts (unless I misremembered and it's the other way around). It's a remarkably strong result and one of the few strong results in experimental personality research.
- nl 6y agoWhat does "improve" mean on an introvert/extrovert test?
- mNovak 6y agoI think they mean improves performance on an unrelated skill/knowledge test, such as doing math problems. The benefit is realized either in introverts or extroverts apparently.
- dhosek 6y agoMy wording was confusing: it would be on an unrelated skills test. I'm pretty sure it was introverts that improved because I remember thinking that I should make a point of getting some caffeine before future tests.
