Personality and Size of Human Brain “Interlinked” - Psychological Scientists

brainA recent study by the Psychological Scientists showed a direct link between size of human brain and his personality.
The researchers conducted a study by taking the help of 116 people. Their brain’s scans were taken to find out the size of each person’s brain. These scans were then put in a computer program to analyze and were compared with each brain’s structure.
After their study, they concluded that there is a connection among the size of different parts of brain and an individual’s personality.
However, there is no connection between person’s mental power and intelligence with the size of the brain.
The study showed that diligent and meticulous people always have greater tendency of keeping their behavior in control. They are more sensitive towards other people’s sentiments and intentions.
People are more assertive and outgoing because of their medial orbitofrontal cortex looks for more and more rewards.
Colin DeYoung at the University of Minnesota said, “It doesn‘t mean that your personality is fixed from birth, the brain grows and changes as it grows”.
As the person grows, his experience also increases, which also enhances his personality.
