frontal lobe definitely play a role in one’s definition of oneself. as one aging, the more one uses one’s frontal lobe, and the more realistic view ones have about one’s self. thinking about in teenage year how one thinks with back of one’s head.

I wish we could give this test to politicians. I bet they’d be off the charts (in NO frontal lobe activity.)

Depending on our thoughts and emotions different things will happen.
We have three distinct evolutionary features, reptilian, mammalian, and human; the human part is our frontal cortex.
So depending on how we are being will trigger different aspects of our brain, the human part is our most intriguing of all in my opinion due to it’s ability to lie and it’s creativity.
Our limbic system ( mammal ) enables us to be instinctual, and it cannot lie, EVER. So our frontal lobe is triggered when we lie and become creative. In other words let the mammal part decide what you prefer in aesthetics because our human will always prefer something more.

So she’s saying that the more you activate your frontal lobes, the more accurately you view yourself… and the less you activate your frontal lobes, the more you view yourself as better than your peers. But these views are NOT at opposite ends of the spectrum; it is quite possible to view yourself as better than your peers and still be viewing yourself accurately, because you ARE better than your peers! Equally, it is possible to view yourself inaccurately and not view yourself as better than your peers, e.g. in the case of depression.

One of the most stupid, unscientific study I have ever seen!
