Interesting! Thanks for recommending, I'll make sure to check this out. Identifying biological bases of personality and behavior is notoriously difficult and fraught with methodological problems so I'm sure they feature discussions from only the top researchers.

As for your last comment, I'm not in one of the fields that was surveyed in the study (linguistics/cognitive science), so you have absolutely no basis for that statement. It's totally fine for you to believe one study with questionable methodology that finds opposite results as every other study done before it, but it's not okay to use that belief to put down other people. Have a nice day!
