Neurotic introverts live in Scarborough




For whatever reason, Scarborough has been the brunt of many jokes for those living in the GTA (it does have some good points...where else will you find a strip mall with a Dollar store, a Roti shop and a Chinese restaurant?....well I don't know you consider that good).

Now there may be official scientific evidence to the jokes. In the recent issue of the U of T Alumni Magazine Kevin Stolarick and his team at U of T’s Martin Prosperity Institute have been using data from online personality surveys to examine how cities are defined by their inhabitants.

According to his research, Scarborough has the highest percentage of Neurotic and introverted people in Toronto. No word if its something in Scarborough that makes people introverted and neurotic or that neurotic and introverted people are attracted to the area.
