In the abstract: "Degree of private self-consciousness was unrelated to perspective taking.". Private self-consciousness = tendency towards introspection.

HOW DOES SEQUITUR?

No but really, excuse my flippancy because I'd love to know if there is actually any evidence for this or whether it was, you know, truth economics.

Q facing left for me. I am indeed quite the introvert.

But I'm also a fantastic liar, but likely more because I think fast and as a long time story teller I can come up with a quality lie very rapidly. That said, I rarely I rarely purposefully lie.

Drew a Q facing my left and did so consciously so that others would be able to read it (even though I'm all alone at the moment).

I consider myself very considerate of other people, but I don't consider myself a good liar, though that may just be because I don't really ever lie.

I drew the Q in such a way that it was readable by others and I am quite a good liar, though I have found it's more trouble than it's worth, so I don't do it.

However, I am very much not an extrovert and I abhor being the center of attention.

Why are these traits being conflated?

I'm an introvert, and of course I would draw it facing the right direction to be read by others. Otherwise people would have to ask why I had a backwards Q on my forehead, and that would be humiliating.
