I guess the former was expected, while this was a surprise.
Also being a Democrat or a Republican is not a biological trait, and it is strongly affected by the environment, education, family etc. Extrovert vs introvert closer to being left handed vs right handed.

- climatekid 3y agoGenuinely curious, do you have a source on introversion/extroversion being biological like handedness? I always assumed it was more learned. I used to be introverted but that was more due to low self esteem and now I’m more confident and rather extroverted
- flkiwi 3y agoI am a fairly outgoing introvert. I like people, I can have conversations with ease, I am confident, but after a while my people budget is spent and I need to go somewhere quiet. There's a misconception that "introverted" means "shy", and that couldn't be further from the truth.
