  Awesome. I'm forwarding that to my girlfriend. "It has even learned, by means of brain scans, that introverts process information differently from other people (I am not making this up)." Just as the rest of the article, this part certainly rings true for me. The fact that I don't think in terms of words seems to baffle people. I always thought this might be because I was raised bilingually, so my thought process might be happening on some kind of superset of the two languages. Maybe, however, it's this that the author alludes to and has no connection with language? It'd have been nice if he had covered more of this angle.

    I've been rised bilingual (Catalan and Spanish) and now I think I'm fluent in English, and I find myself thinking in the three languages (mostly Catalan and English) in different moments. What is more weird is that I'm more or less social depending on the language I've to use, being much more social talking in English than in Spanish or Catalan. I think it may be due to the fact that the English classes I took where very participative and I was usually forced to talk. I really don't know. (And for the article, right now after 5 days of vacation, back at work, and after 6 hours coding I'm really looking forward to go out and socialize a little bit more (I'm pretty happy I have a very good environment at work), but sunday after spending all day with people I was eager to sit in front of my computer and code for hours.).
