"Introspectuals": I Said It First

Joining race, gender, religion, geography, income level, and country of origin, and hot on the heels of the new term "metrosexual", I'm hereby coining a term for a new way to divide people into groups: the "introspectual".

That's right, this term indicates how introspective/intellectual you are. If you are an introspectual, you know how hard it is to sustain a close relationship with people who aren't. Sure, they're great to socialize with and all, but try being married to someone who thinks any thinking out loud you do is just whining. Or try working for someone who thinks that creative brainstorming is just indecision.

If you're an introspectual, you know who you are. You ask your mate "what are you thinking"? You doodle. You carry a pen and some paper in case a thought occurs to you that you don't want to lose. You try to see more than one side to the issues. When you blog, you use full sentences. Pleased to meet you.
