I’d probably rather get the electric shock than be left alone with *their* thoughts too

[@davechensky]

Wow deep

[@chromatinkiss]

You can direct your thoughts, but you can’t control them

This is very on-brand. 😂

I wonder how the participants would rate themselves on the introvert/extrovert scale.
Aside from the one person that shocked themselves 190 times 😂.

A big percentage of people have no inner monologue, did they take that into consideration?

[@digitaljanus]

I always had a sense I wasn't like most men (or likely in the case of this study, like most American undergraduates), but it's good to have another data point.
