This chapter in my management book has irked me.

First thing, they heavily imply that extroverts are better and smarter than introverts - I've found introverts to be smarter. Why do they think that by far the majority of scientists are introverts?

Second, they suggest that men can pull themselves up the management ladder, but women need to be tutored and mentored and pushed up.

Women don't need this, and even if they did, then they wouldn't be as qualified for the positions.

@SirPython Probably so, but I won't nuke it myself now.

@Hosch250: They only imply something (or maybe you are reading it wrong). But you explicitly say something. Which is worse? Please present the evidence for your claim. Your second claim "majority of scientists are introverts" seems like selection bias to me. Do you have a scientific source for that claim?

@LokiAstari Sure, hold on.

@SirPython I have figured that it is a decent enough answer, and the last point makes it worth it.

Hey Loki

Yep

Loki is in the house

That's a good thing, the new folk don't know who you are.... ;-)

it has been too long

@rolfl PPCG has repented, and they have been having trouble with bots restarting them, and it is really ramping up.

You know me lurke and provoke.

Most of the people there not weren't part of the earlier raids, and they want to know if the bots can be shut down.

Can the bots be shut down? Probably not effectively.

Set up a 20 second loop, vote every loop, that's exactly what they were hoping to accomplish, I am sure... except from people

Been working hard a classifying the whole web as spamy or not: twitter.com/hashtag/SpamScore?src=hash

@JeroenVannevel Maybe you should include your Twitter on your site, and Tweet about new posts? Makes it a lot easier, I had to look you up on Twitter and stuff

I don't do tweeter

But I suppose I can

Just looking out for you... More Twitter == More exposure

@LokiAstari I back down from my claim - there are no reliable sources either way.

I followed a bunch of CR people from your twitter, I'll post it there as well from now on

Many politicians, Bush, Clinton, Churchill, and others are extroverts.

Of course politicians are extroverts

Their job is by definition talking to people and being around people 24/7

That's the very opposite of an introvert

Many famous scientists, including Einstein and Newton, are introverts.

Business people go either way.

Buffett is an introvert, others are extroverts.

Salespeople are usually extroverted, but there successful extroverted salespeople.

@Hosch250 There are examples of introverted politicians: Abraham Lincoln springs to mind.

@LokiAstari Of course.

There are always exceptions.

Developers are usually introverted, according to a link @JeroenVannevel posted here not too long ago.

I think you have that backwards

developers are typically introverted

Yup, backward.

Developers are similar to scientists, aren't they?

Hey guys :) just got back from a hackathon

Eleanor Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln were introverts.

my first npm package :D npmjs.com/package/express-roles

Bill Gates is, but Steve Jobs was not.

Looks like we are not considered spamy

If anyone is interested in eggs and fighting spammers, come join PPCG.

CR isn't active enough, so I'm doing both sporadically.

@Hosch250 May I mention that your "extrovert" vs. "introvert" scale seems a bit binary?

@Phrancis Either/or?

It seems more like a sliding scale to me

Yes, it is.

@DanPantry Looks useful!

@LokiAstari - got lost following links and stuff from your announcement. Looks interesting, but, I am not your target audience.... ;-)

Me neither.

@JeroenVannevel came out of necessity, will probably be more useful after I add integration with other projects like jsonwebtoken

Some of the 17 metrics feel... arbitrary. But I have nothing to give a frame of reference to

w3c.org, must have a poor score ;-)

@Hosch250 OK good, just felt a bit like rounding the closest decimal value to the closest whole number.

RELOAD!
