"It's bad for the introverted and highly intelligent because it further stigmatizes both of those things, especially in combination. By establishing extroversion and median IQ as "ideal," we're insinuating that the introverted and gifted are somehow defective. "
Extroversion = median IQ and Introverted = gifted.
- colomon 13y agoI read that same quote and come up with the exact opposite of your conclusion. Note "especially in combination", which doesn't make any sense if the author thinks those two things always go together.
- jonnathanson 13y agoThat's not what I was saying, and if that's what you read, I will take the blame for phrasing it improperly. This article is about a particular combination of Introversion and High IQ. It is one combination of many. Obviously it's possible to be a different combination: Extrovert + High IQ, Introvert + Low IQ, etc. I did not mean to imply, in any way, that Introversion is correlated with IQ, much less axiomatically correlated with high IQ.
