Extroverts adapt faster to cold, researcher says
Rintamaki, a researcher at the University of Oulu in Finland who studies the effects of cold on human performance, says personality has an impact.
“The extrovert type of people do react more quickly and correctly to environment,” Rintamaki told this week’s International Congress on Circumpolar Health in Novosibirsk, Russia.
“They increase heat production quickly, and response by heart rate quickly. But also they have higher level of stress.”
…whereas the more sensible introverts go inside where it’s warm, and stay there. Less stress, more hot chocolate.
