Interesting article, if accurate. But I want to re-state that I have NOT seen, in general, a sweeping difference in fitness, emotional health, or finances between the two polarities. Whatever is going on here (if indeed anything is) should be evaluated without smugness or finger-pointing. One might ask: "under what conditions is tendency X more valuable than tendency Y?" Because, clearly, both ways of thinking are pretty deeply wired into our brains...
