=== Thinking Fast and Slow ===
In his book [[wikipedia:Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow|Thinking Fast and Slow]], Kahneman outlines two modes of thought: "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional; "System 2" is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. 

While there are many tradeoffs between the two systems, it's not clear if his work is related to our question here. These two modes of thought are present in everyone. People with fast personal tempo and slow personal tempo will use both types of thinking. And even if people with different personal tempos use system 1 and system 2 to the same degree, it's plausible that the faster people have a faster system 2 (and maybe system 1) than slower people.

Still, it is possible that people with slow personal tempo rely on system 2 thinking more than people with fast personal tempo. If so, than Kahneman's work would be relevant to the question on this page.

'''Left to be determined''': 
* Do people who have a slow personal tempo use System 2 more often?
* Does everyone use the two systems to the same degree, and the slower people just have a slower system 2 (and even system 1) than the faster people?
