Grammar police – introvert or extrovert?

Do grammatical errors drive you crazy?  What about typos?  A new study shows that your reaction to these easily made mistakes is directly linked to your personality type.

According to the survey, Introverts are more likely to judge a person negatively on the basis of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.  And people who are sensitive to grammatical errors are also more likely to be less agreeable by nature!

Extroverted people, though, are more likely to ignore written errors.

How we perceive a simple typo vs. a grammatical error is also interesting – the full survey can be found here.
