Bostonian, that was prescisely DD's assertion as well-- that those with higher cognitive ability were probably MUCH more likely to tolerate solitude and lack of external stimuli.

Honestly, though-- 6 to 15 minutes?? When I read this, I found myself thinking... are you KIDDING me??

I can spend 30 minutes just staring out the window and thinking.
