Fascinating article in the Atlantic about how the four different cognitive regions of the brain contribute to personality. It's a little more complex than the System 1 and System 2 set out by Daniel Kahneman, which is reason to both reject and embrace it; I buy the idea that neural function is complicated, but part of me needs a simple, more elegant answer.
Anyway, it's fun, and there's a free personality test. It would appear that I am a "situational stimulator," which means I plan ahead, but have a hard time adapting on the fly. That doesn't sound quite right, although I need to account for confirmation bias, I suppose.
