Well that makes sense. If you look beck throughout human history, a lot of individuals we would consider to be geniuses or creative tended to do many different things and were quirky and possibly immature (depending on their societies' standards), so its quite likely that intelligence and distractibility are somewhat linked. Interesting article though :wink:

I like this simply because it appeals to my vanity! :lol:

I do have a powerful brain, if only I can wrestle it into focusing on something now and then.

Something I wrote on me blog:

I've thought about it, and studied it, and observed my own concentration a lot recently. Concentration is like an energy beam. Energy needs concentrating, or it can't do anything very much - It just splatters away in a thousand directions, off into space.

I believe it. My brain could be structurally different because of my genetic syndrome which could mean I have too much grey matter in certain areas which would explain my distractibility.
