''If an extrovert wants attention, what does an introvert crave? Peace and quiet? Something I've been pondering of recent, after reading about brain types and Dandyism. (separately) One article stated that men exposed to higher levels of testosterone at a certain point of the gestation period were prone to being more extroverted, and those that weren't where more insular and neurotic. I'm not sure what my point is. Um, is Ivy meant to be introverted due to its conservative heritage?''

I know this is the kind of scientific hot air that fills the tabloids daily, but it is an interesting read, and it got me thinking in broader terms about how dandyism has a gay, and a straight side, and it is very clear to tell, when what message is being given off. Well I think so.


''Recent studies at Swansea University found a long ring finger means you’re less likely to smoke, says Professor Manning.
This is because testosterone is associated with an extrovert type of personality, while smoking is linked to an introverted or neurotic type of personality.
‘This character trait makes you more likely to smoke,’ says the Professor.
The bad news is that ‘those with a longer ring finger are more inclined to drink alcohol’.
More likely to excel at sport: If your ring finger is significantly longer than your index finger (around a centimetre longer or more), it can mean you’ve got what it takes to be a professional sportsperson.
‘This is probably because these people were exposed to high levels of testosterone in the womb, which helps develop a strong heart and vascular system,’ says Professor Manning.''
