How does the personality of an introvert effect sporting performance?

Answer 1

A new study reveals just how differently extroverts and introverts process experiences, and may help explain why the former loves a good party, while the latter is happy to cozy up to a book and a cup of tea.

Published June 13 in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, the study found that extroverts are more likely to associate the rush of the feel-good brain chemical dopamine with the environment they are in at the time.

Research has already found that extroverts opt for instant gratification and focus more on the faces of others than introverts. On the flip side, introverts get overwhelmed by a lot of stimulation and pay more attention to the small details, which researchers say is connected to increased brain activity when processing visual information.
