1 00:00:01,282 --> 00:00:05,736 What an intriguing group of individuals you are ... 2 00:00:05,736 --> 00:00:07,435 to a psychologist. 3 00:00:07,435 --> 00:00:08,440 (Laughter) 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,680 I've had the opportunity over the last couple of days 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,984 of listening in on some of your conversations, 6 00:00:14,984 --> 00:00:17,048 and watching you interact with each other. 7 00:00:17,048 --> 00:00:19,158 And I think it's fair to say, 8 00:00:19,158 --> 00:00:20,162 already, 9 00:00:20,162 --> 00:00:25,629 that there are 47 people in this audience, 10 00:00:25,629 --> 00:00:27,637 at this moment, 11 00:00:27,637 --> 00:00:31,890 displaying psychological symptoms I would like to discuss today. 12 00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:33,042 (Laughter) 13 00:00:33,046 --> 00:00:36,286 And I thought you might like to know who you are. 14 00:00:36,286 --> 00:00:37,285 (Laughter) 15 00:00:37,415 --> 00:00:39,563 But instead of pointing at you -- 16 00:00:39,563 --> 00:00:42,968 which would be gratuitous and intrusive -- 17 00:00:42,968 --> 00:00:45,968 I thought I would tell you a few facts and stories 18 00:00:45,968 --> 00:00:49,570 in which you may catch a glimpse of yourself. 19 00:00:50,343 --> 00:00:54,578 I'm in the field of research known as personality psychology, 20 00:00:54,578 --> 00:00:58,017 which is part of a larger personality science 21 00:00:58,017 --> 00:01:03,126 which spans the full spectrum from neurons to narratives. 22 00:01:03,497 --> 00:01:05,776 And what we try to do, 23 00:01:05,776 --> 00:01:07,445 in our own way, 24 00:01:07,445 --> 00:01:10,992 is to make sense of how each of us -- 25 00:01:10,992 --> 00:01:12,706 each of you -- 26 00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:17,105 is in certain respects like all other people, 27 00:01:17,105 --> 00:01:19,330 like some other people, 28 00:01:19,330 --> 00:01:21,769 and like no other person. 29 00:01:22,675 --> 00:01:25,926 Now already you may be saying of yourself, 30 00:01:25,926 --> 00:01:29,891 "I'm not intriguing ... 31 00:01:29,891 --> 00:01:35,508 I am the 46th most boring person in the Western hemisphere." 32 00:01:36,030 --> 00:01:38,318 Or you may say of yourself, 33 00:01:38,318 --> 00:01:41,467 "I am intriguing ... 34 00:01:41,467 --> 00:01:45,514 even if I am regarded by most people as a great, thundering twit." 35 00:01:45,514 --> 00:01:46,513 (Laughter) 36 00:01:46,513 --> 00:01:52,500 But it is your self-diagnosed boringness and your inherent "twitiness" 37 00:01:52,503 --> 00:01:57,070 that makes me as a psychologist really fascinated by you. 38 00:01:57,403 --> 00:01:59,973 So let me explain why this is so. 39 00:02:00,467 --> 00:02:04,676 One of the most influential approaches in personality science 40 00:02:04,676 --> 00:02:06,265 is known as trait psychology, 41 00:02:06,265 --> 00:02:11,770 and it aligns you along five dimensions which are normally distributed 42 00:02:11,770 --> 00:02:16,824 and that describe universally held aspects 43 00:02:16,824 --> 00:02:19,354 of difference between people. 44 00:02:19,824 --> 00:02:22,153 They spell out the acronym OCEAN. 45 00:02:22,391 --> 00:02:25,441 So, O stands for open to experience 46 00:02:25,441 --> 00:02:27,791 versus those who are more closed. 47 00:02:27,791 --> 00:02:30,914 C stands for conscientiousness 48 00:02:30,914 --> 00:02:34,661 in contrast to those with a more lackadaisical approach to life. 49 00:02:34,661 --> 00:02:39,154 E, extroversion in contrast to more introverted people. 50 00:02:39,154 --> 00:02:45,790 A, agreeable individuals in contrast to those decidedly not agreeable. 51 00:02:45,790 --> 00:02:46,790 And N -- 52 00:02:46,790 --> 00:02:51,336 neurotic individuals in contrast to those who are more stable. 53 00:02:52,427 --> 00:02:55,954 All of these dimensions have implications for our well-being, 54 00:02:55,954 --> 00:02:58,460 for how our life goes. 55 00:02:58,913 --> 00:03:01,382 And so we know that for example, 56 00:03:01,382 --> 00:03:06,933 openness and conscientiousness are very good predictors of life success, 57 00:03:06,933 --> 00:03:11,502 but the open people achieve that success through being audacious, 58 00:03:11,502 --> 00:03:13,680 and occasionally odd. 59 00:03:14,204 --> 00:03:18,647 The conscientious people achieve it through sticking to deadlines, 60 00:03:18,647 --> 00:03:22,769 to persevering as well as having some passion. 61 00:03:23,845 --> 00:03:30,246 Extroversion and agreeableness are both conducive to working well with people. 62 00:03:31,072 --> 00:03:32,980 Extroverts for example, 63 00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:34,835 I find intriguing with my classes, 64 00:03:34,835 --> 00:03:37,180 I sometimes give them a basic fact 65 00:03:37,180 --> 00:03:39,927 that might be revealing with respect to their personality. 66 00:03:40,467 --> 00:03:44,842 I tell them that it is virtually impossible 67 00:03:44,842 --> 00:03:49,263 for adults to lick the outside of their own elbow. 68 00:03:51,018 --> 00:03:52,605 Did you know that? 69 00:03:53,592 --> 00:03:57,861 Already, some of you have tried to lick the outside of your own elbow, 70 00:03:57,861 --> 00:03:59,793 but extroverts amongst you 71 00:03:59,793 --> 00:04:02,403 are probably those who've not only tried, 72 00:04:02,403 --> 00:04:04,201 but they have successfully licked 73 00:04:04,201 --> 00:04:06,460 the elbow of the person sitting next to them. 74 00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:07,460 (Laughter) 75 00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:09,300 Those are the extroverts. 76 00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:12,759 Let me deal in a bit more detail with extroversion, 77 00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:15,793 because it's consequential and it's intriguing, 78 00:04:15,793 --> 00:04:19,273 and it helps us understand what I call our three natures. 79 00:04:19,273 --> 00:04:21,519 First, our biogenic nature, 80 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:23,019 our neurophysiology. 81 00:04:23,019 --> 00:04:26,549 Second, our sociogenic or second nature, 82 00:04:26,549 --> 00:04:29,846 which has to do with the cultural and social aspects of our lives. 83 00:04:29,846 --> 00:04:32,438 And third, 84 00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:36,699 what makes you individually you -- 85 00:04:36,699 --> 00:04:38,381 idiosyncratic -- 86 00:04:38,381 --> 00:04:41,676 what I call your "idiogenic" nature. 87 00:04:41,676 --> 00:04:42,942 Let me explain. 88 00:04:45,077 --> 00:04:48,562 One of the things that characterizes extroverts is they need stimulation. 89 00:04:49,154 --> 00:04:53,877 And that stimulation can be achieved by finding things that are exciting: 90 00:04:53,877 --> 00:04:55,164 loud noises, 91 00:04:55,164 --> 00:04:56,137 parties 92 00:04:56,137 --> 00:04:58,036 and social events here at TED. 93 00:04:58,036 --> 00:05:01,106 You see the extroverts forming a magnetic core, 94 00:05:01,106 --> 00:05:02,859 and they all gather together, 95 00:05:02,859 --> 00:05:04,002 and I've seen you. 96 00:05:04,391 --> 00:05:07,713 The introverts are more likely to spend time in the quiet spaces, 97 00:05:07,713 --> 00:05:09,535 up on the second floor, 98 00:05:09,535 --> 00:05:13,326 where they are able to reduce stimulation -- 99 00:05:13,326 --> 00:05:17,232 and may be misconstrued as being antisocial, 100 00:05:17,232 --> 00:05:20,512 but you're not necessarily antisocial. 101 00:05:21,461 --> 00:05:25,595 It may be that you simply realize that you do better 102 00:05:25,595 --> 00:05:30,006 when you have a chance to lower that level of stimulation. 103 00:05:31,062 --> 00:05:34,649 Sometimes it's an internal stimulant, 104 00:05:34,649 --> 00:05:35,682 from your body -- 105 00:05:35,682 --> 00:05:40,189 caffeine for example works much better with extroverts than it does introverts. 106 00:05:40,189 --> 00:05:43,367 When extroverts come into the office at nine o'clock in the morning 107 00:05:43,367 --> 00:05:46,302 and say, "I really need a cup of coffee," 108 00:05:46,302 --> 00:05:47,574 they're not kidding, 109 00:05:47,574 --> 00:05:48,947 they really do. 110 00:05:49,793 --> 00:05:51,598 Introverts do not do as well, 111 00:05:51,598 --> 00:05:55,056 particularly if the tasks they're engaged in -- 112 00:05:55,056 --> 00:05:56,742 and they've had some coffee -- 113 00:05:56,742 --> 00:05:58,879 if those tasks are speeded, 114 00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:00,757 and if they're quantitative, 115 00:06:00,757 --> 00:06:05,151 introverts may give the appearance of not being particularly quantitative. 116 00:06:05,692 --> 00:06:07,331 But it's a misconstrual. 117 00:06:07,331 --> 00:06:10,277 So here are the consequences that are really quite intriguing. 118 00:06:10,574 --> 00:06:12,523 We're not always what seem to be, 119 00:06:12,523 --> 00:06:15,807 and that takes me to my next point. 120 00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:17,680 I should say, 121 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,985 before getting to this, 122 00:06:18,985 --> 00:06:21,266 something about sexual intercourse. 123 00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:23,903 Although I may not have time. 124 00:06:23,903 --> 00:06:26,729 And so if you would like me to -- 125 00:06:26,729 --> 00:06:27,729 yes, you would? 126 00:06:27,729 --> 00:06:28,727 OK. 127 00:06:28,727 --> 00:06:29,727 (Laughter) 128 00:06:30,064 --> 00:06:31,115 There are studies done 129 00:06:31,115 --> 00:06:36,469 on the frequency with which individuals engage in the conjugal act. 130 00:06:37,541 --> 00:06:39,369 It's broken down by male, female; 131 00:06:39,369 --> 00:06:40,755 introvert, extrovert. 132 00:06:41,219 --> 00:06:42,223 So I ask you, 133 00:06:42,223 --> 00:06:45,360 how many times per minute ... 134 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,530 Oh, I'm sorry, that was a rat study -- 135 00:06:47,530 --> 00:06:49,537 (Laughter) 136 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:55,002 How many times per month ... 137 00:06:55,002 --> 00:06:58,261 do introverted men engage in the act? 138 00:06:58,748 --> 00:07:00,051 3.0. 139 00:07:00,051 --> 00:07:01,747 Extroverted men? 140 00:07:01,747 --> 00:07:03,467 More or less? 141 00:07:03,775 --> 00:07:05,403 Yes, more. 142 00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:06,854 5.5 -- 143 00:07:06,854 --> 00:07:08,429 almost twice as much. 144 00:07:09,447 --> 00:07:12,102 Introverted women: 3.1. 145 00:07:12,102 --> 00:07:13,697 Extroverted women -- 146 00:07:13,697 --> 00:07:17,098 frankly speaking as an introverted male, 147 00:07:17,098 --> 00:07:18,900 which I will explain later -- 148 00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:20,481 they are heroic. 149 00:07:21,164 --> 00:07:22,939 7.5. 150 00:07:24,005 --> 00:07:26,356 They not only handle all the male extroverts, 151 00:07:26,356 --> 00:07:28,448 they pick up a few introverts as well. 152 00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,195 (Laughter) 153 00:07:30,195 --> 00:07:32,515 (Applause) 154 00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:40,083 We communicate differently, 155 00:07:40,083 --> 00:07:41,704 extroverts and introverts. 156 00:07:42,711 --> 00:07:44,164 Extroverts when they interact, 157 00:07:44,164 --> 00:07:48,706 want to have lots of social encounter punctuated by closeness. 158 00:07:48,706 --> 00:07:51,839 They'd like to stand close for comfortable communication. 159 00:07:52,611 --> 00:07:54,944 They like to have a lot of eye contact, 160 00:07:54,944 --> 00:07:56,564 your mutual gaze. 161 00:07:57,413 --> 00:07:58,621 We found in some research 162 00:07:58,621 --> 00:08:01,688 that they use more diminutive terms when they meet somebody. 163 00:08:02,104 --> 00:08:04,816 So when an extrovert meets a Charles, 164 00:08:04,816 --> 00:08:07,830 it rapidly becomes Charlie and then Chuck, 165 00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:09,508 and then Chuckles Baby. 166 00:08:09,508 --> 00:08:11,000 (Laughter) 167 00:08:11,213 --> 00:08:12,461 Whereas for introverts, 168 00:08:12,461 --> 00:08:17,598 it remains Charles until he's given a pass to be more intimate 169 00:08:17,598 --> 00:08:19,818 by the person he's talking to. 170 00:08:20,251 --> 00:08:23,601 We speak differently. 171 00:08:25,133 --> 00:08:30,284 Extroverts prefer black and white, concrete, simple language. 172 00:08:32,005 --> 00:08:33,869 Introverts prefer -- 173 00:08:33,869 --> 00:08:35,871 and I must again tell you 174 00:08:35,871 --> 00:08:40,636 that I am as extreme an introvert as you could possibly imagine. 175 00:08:41,076 --> 00:08:43,018 We speak differently, 176 00:08:43,018 --> 00:08:46,883 we prefer contextually complex, 177 00:08:46,883 --> 00:08:48,913 contingent, 178 00:08:48,913 --> 00:08:50,883 weasel word sentences. 179 00:08:50,883 --> 00:08:51,880 (Laughter) 180 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,242 More or less. 181 00:08:53,552 --> 00:08:54,987 (Laughter) 182 00:08:54,987 --> 00:08:56,257 As it were -- 183 00:08:56,257 --> 00:08:57,255 (Laughter) 184 00:08:57,255 --> 00:08:59,984 Not to put too fine a point upon it ... 185 00:08:59,984 --> 00:09:01,406 like that. 186 00:09:02,170 --> 00:09:03,571 When we talk, 187 00:09:03,571 --> 00:09:05,595 we sometimes talk past each other. 188 00:09:05,994 --> 00:09:08,621 I had a consulting contract I shared with a colleague 189 00:09:08,621 --> 00:09:11,978 who's as different from me as two people can possibly be. 190 00:09:11,978 --> 00:09:13,757 First, his name is Tom. 191 00:09:14,626 --> 00:09:15,839 Mine isn't. 192 00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:17,161 (Laughter) 193 00:09:17,161 --> 00:09:19,350 Secondly, he's six foot five, 194 00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:21,512 I have a tendency not to be. 195 00:09:21,512 --> 00:09:22,505 (Laughter) 196 00:09:22,505 --> 00:09:23,505 And thirdly, 197 00:09:23,505 --> 00:09:26,034 he's as extroverted a person as you could find; 198 00:09:26,034 --> 00:09:28,555 I am seriously introverted. 199 00:09:28,845 --> 00:09:30,539 I overload so much 200 00:09:30,539 --> 00:09:35,577 I can't even have a cup of coffee after three in the afternoon 201 00:09:35,577 --> 00:09:37,865 and expect to sleep in the evening. 202 00:09:38,337 --> 00:09:42,289 We had [seconded] to this project a fellow called Michael. 203 00:09:43,566 --> 00:09:47,626 And Michael almost brought the project to a crashing halt. 204 00:09:48,814 --> 00:09:53,467 So the person who [seconded] him asked Tom and me, 205 00:09:53,467 --> 00:09:55,087 "What do you make of Michael?" 206 00:09:55,087 --> 00:09:57,288 Well, I'll tell you what Tom said in a minute. 207 00:09:57,288 --> 00:10:00,106 He spoke in classic "extrovertese." 208 00:10:00,106 --> 00:10:03,835 And here is how extroverted ears heard what I said, 209 00:10:03,835 --> 00:10:05,787 which is actually pretty accurate. 210 00:10:05,787 --> 00:10:10,568 I said, "Well Michael does have a tendency at times 211 00:10:10,568 --> 00:10:14,569 of behaving in a way that some of us might see 212 00:10:14,569 --> 00:10:17,339 as perhaps more assertive 213 00:10:17,339 --> 00:10:19,344 than is normally called for." 214 00:10:19,344 --> 00:10:21,458 (Laughter) 215 00:10:21,779 --> 00:10:23,555 Tom rolled his eyes and he said, 216 00:10:23,555 --> 00:10:26,747 "Brian, that's what I said ... 217 00:10:26,747 --> 00:10:28,396 he's an asshole!" 218 00:10:28,396 --> 00:10:30,254 (Laughter) 219 00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:31,254 (Applause) 220 00:10:33,676 --> 00:10:35,065 Now as an introvert, 221 00:10:35,065 --> 00:10:40,245 I might gently allude to certain "assholic" qualities 222 00:10:40,245 --> 00:10:41,642 in this man's behavior, 223 00:10:41,642 --> 00:10:44,445 but I'm not going to lunge for the a-word. 224 00:10:44,445 --> 00:10:45,928 (Laughter) 225 00:10:47,284 --> 00:10:48,383 But the extrovert says, 226 00:10:48,383 --> 00:10:49,462 "if he walks like one, 227 00:10:49,462 --> 00:10:50,471 if he talks like one, 228 00:10:50,471 --> 00:10:51,629 I call him one." 229 00:10:51,629 --> 00:10:53,584 And we go past each other. 230 00:10:53,584 --> 00:10:57,682 Now is this something that we should be heedful of? 231 00:10:57,682 --> 00:10:58,678 Of course. 232 00:10:58,678 --> 00:11:00,339 It's important that we know this. 233 00:11:00,339 --> 00:11:02,415 Is that all we are? 234 00:11:02,830 --> 00:11:05,370 Are we just a bunch of traits? 235 00:11:05,730 --> 00:11:07,534 No we're not. 236 00:11:08,315 --> 00:11:11,440 Remember you're like some other people ... 237 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,570 and like no other person. 238 00:11:13,570 --> 00:11:16,354 How about that idiosyncratic you? 239 00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:20,021 As Elizabeth or as George, 240 00:11:20,021 --> 00:11:23,602 you may share you extraversion or your neuroticism. 241 00:11:24,482 --> 00:11:28,525 But are there some distinctively Elizabethan features of your behavior, 242 00:11:28,525 --> 00:11:31,804 or Georgian of yours, 243 00:11:31,804 --> 00:11:36,622 that make us understand you better than just a bunch of traits ... 244 00:11:36,622 --> 00:11:39,025 that make us love you? 245 00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,693 Not just because you're a certain type of person. 246 00:11:43,411 --> 00:11:46,035 I'm uncomfortable putting people in pigeon holes. 247 00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:49,839 I don't even think pigeons belong in pigeon holes. 248 00:11:51,664 --> 00:11:54,219 So what is it that makes us different? 249 00:11:54,219 --> 00:11:57,349 It's the doings that we have in our life. 250 00:11:57,349 --> 00:11:59,029 The personal projects. 251 00:11:59,490 --> 00:12:01,328 You have a personal project right now, 252 00:12:01,328 --> 00:12:04,953 but nobody may know it here. 253 00:12:05,711 --> 00:12:07,602 It relates to your kid -- 254 00:12:07,602 --> 00:12:09,645 you've been back three times to the hospital 255 00:12:09,645 --> 00:12:11,998 and they still don't know what's wrong. 256 00:12:13,461 --> 00:12:15,178 Or it could be your mom. 257 00:12:16,251 --> 00:12:18,533 And you'd been acting out of character. 258 00:12:18,533 --> 00:12:20,834 These are free traits. 259 00:12:21,625 --> 00:12:23,482 You're very agreeable, 260 00:12:23,482 --> 00:12:27,007 but you act disagreeably in order to break down those barriers 261 00:12:27,007 --> 00:12:29,851 of administrative torpor in the hospital, 262 00:12:29,851 --> 00:12:31,661 to get something for your mom ... 263 00:12:31,661 --> 00:12:33,183 or your child. 264 00:12:33,918 --> 00:12:35,476 What are these free traits? 265 00:12:35,476 --> 00:12:38,276 They're where were enact a script 266 00:12:38,276 --> 00:12:40,929 in order to advance a core project in our lives. 267 00:12:41,943 --> 00:12:44,000 And they are what matters. 268 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,891 Don't ask people what type you are, 269 00:12:46,891 --> 00:12:47,891 ask them: 270 00:12:47,891 --> 00:12:49,941 what are your core projects in your life? 271 00:12:49,941 --> 00:12:51,693 And we enact those free traits. 272 00:12:51,693 --> 00:12:52,901 I'm an introvert, 273 00:12:52,901 --> 00:12:54,221 but I have a core project, 274 00:12:54,221 --> 00:12:57,902 which is to profess. 275 00:12:57,902 --> 00:13:00,025 I'm a professor. 276 00:13:00,025 --> 00:13:03,303 And I adore my students, 277 00:13:03,303 --> 00:13:04,814 and I adore my field. 278 00:13:04,814 --> 00:13:09,919 And I can't wait to tell them about what's new, 279 00:13:09,919 --> 00:13:11,604 what's exciting, 280 00:13:11,604 --> 00:13:13,855 what I can't wait to tell them about. 281 00:13:13,855 --> 00:13:15,674 And so I act in an extroverted way, 282 00:13:15,674 --> 00:13:17,201 because at eight in the morning, 283 00:13:17,201 --> 00:13:19,740 the students need a little bit of humor, 284 00:13:19,740 --> 00:13:22,214 a little bit of engagement to keep them going 285 00:13:22,214 --> 00:13:24,105 in arduous days of study. 286 00:13:24,452 --> 00:13:26,606 But we need to be very careful 287 00:13:26,606 --> 00:13:29,562 when we act protractedly out of character. 288 00:13:30,894 --> 00:13:35,626 Sometimes we may find that we don't take care of ourselves. 289 00:13:37,439 --> 00:13:38,441 I find, 290 00:13:38,441 --> 00:13:42,165 for example after a period of pseudo-extroverted behavior, 291 00:13:42,165 --> 00:13:45,112 I need to repair somewhere on my own. 292 00:13:46,203 --> 00:13:49,546 As Susan Cain said in her Quiet book, 293 00:13:49,546 --> 00:13:52,349 in a chapter that featured the strange Canadian professor 294 00:13:52,349 --> 00:13:55,336 who was teaching at the time at Harvard ... 295 00:13:55,336 --> 00:13:57,138 I sometimes go to the men's room 296 00:13:57,138 --> 00:14:00,834 to escape the slings and arrows of outrageous extroverts. 297 00:14:01,243 --> 00:14:02,241 (Laughter) 298 00:14:02,477 --> 00:14:04,254 I remember one particular day 299 00:14:04,254 --> 00:14:08,866 when I was retired to a cubicle, 300 00:14:08,866 --> 00:14:11,236 trying to avoid overstimulation. 301 00:14:11,236 --> 00:14:15,250 And a real extrovert came in beside me -- 302 00:14:15,250 --> 00:14:16,702 not right in my cubicle, 303 00:14:16,702 --> 00:14:18,734 but in the next cubicle over -- 304 00:14:18,734 --> 00:14:21,056 and I could hear various "evacuatory" noises, 305 00:14:21,056 --> 00:14:22,402 which we hate -- 306 00:14:22,402 --> 00:14:23,400 even our own, 307 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,906 that's why we flush during as well as after. 308 00:14:26,286 --> 00:14:28,018 (Laughter) 309 00:14:28,702 --> 00:14:33,141 And then I heard this gravelly voice saying, 310 00:14:33,141 --> 00:14:35,450 "Hey is that Dr. Little?" 311 00:14:36,085 --> 00:14:38,014 (Laughter) 312 00:14:38,944 --> 00:14:40,943 If anything is guaranteed 313 00:14:40,943 --> 00:14:45,323 to constipate an introvert for six months, 314 00:14:45,323 --> 00:14:47,083 it's talking on the john. 315 00:14:47,083 --> 00:14:48,198 (Laughter) 316 00:14:48,198 --> 00:14:50,298 That's where I'm going now. 317 00:14:50,768 --> 00:14:52,564 Don't follow me. 318 00:14:52,564 --> 00:14:54,137 Thank you. 319 00:14:54,137 --> 00:14:56,472 (Applause)
