The stereotypical bore

It only makes sense that we would want to avoid those unsatisfying interactions given the agony of ennui.Sadly, people have the annoying tendency to unfairly pre-judge others based on insufficient information.

As a result, we frequently conclude that a person will bore us before they have a chance to pique our interest.Van Tilburg identified the stereotypical characteristics that elicit this response in a series of studies published earlier this year.

These findings may cause us to pause whenever we find ourselves making hasty judgments about the personality of another person.
