The physiological pattern described in the statement is typically associated with an inhibited temperament. People with an inhibited temperament tend to be shy, anxious, and avoidant of new or unfamiliar situations. The high and stable heart rate, high cortisol level, and high activity in the right frontal lobe indicate a heightened sensitivity to stress and a tendency to experience negative emotions.
