Relationship between Circadian Rhythm of Body Temperature and Introversion-Extraversion,

Abstract

The circadian rhythm of body-temperature was assessed in seventy-four naval ratings. The average rhythm of those subjects rated as 'extraverted' in personality was found to differ slightly but significantly in form from those rated as 'introverted'. It is suggested that the nature of the difference might explain observed differences in performance efficiency in the two types of subjects. (Author)
