Suppose you hear someone you have never met described as:
(a) jolly, funny, happy, loves to be around kids, easy going, relaxed.

Now imagine another person who is quite different from person (a):
(b) very focussed, serious minded, highly motivated or ambitious,
time conscious, intellectual, rowdy kids make them nervous, etc.

Question extropians: what *physical* characteristics do you associate with the above persons? Please describe what they *look* like, what mental pictures you created of persons (a) and (b). I have in mind a thought experiment which we can finish at the upcoming extrocon in August. spike
