I came up with this article today: “Introverts vs. Extroverts: How to Identify and Develop Diverging Personality Types”.

“Susan Krauss Whitbourne, a professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, recently made the case for introverts in an article in Psychology Today. To her, introverts make for better leaders for a simple reason: “They’re more likely to listen and pay attention to what other people are saying.”

This article also mentions a book:” Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking”. I haven’t read this book yet but it must be an interesting one.

For those of us who are doing scientific research, this could be a nice article to read:

Based on the following article, there are some items that distinguish U.S higher education. I believe the most important one is diversity, other than that they mention accessibility, size, competition and autonomy as a distinguishing feature of U.S. higher education in this article. It is a comprehensive article that covers the number of graduate students, and academic faculty in the U.S and also the current challenges in higher education.
