aRE YOU functionally or dysfunctionally iMPULSIVE?

 our lives are often determined by the balance between functional and dysfunctional impulsivity. 

A consumer whose impulsivity is relatively high on the dysfunctional side is more likely to be an impulse buyer. When the balance tips in favor of functional impulsivity, the consumer may simply be more adventurous in their buying behavior. 

In studies on addiction, research has (not surprisingly) found that dysfunctional impulsivity relates to substance abuse. Its functional counterpart, on the other hand, can even have the inverse effect—greater functional impulsivity has been associated with lower cravings for both cigarettes and opiates. 

This may partly occur because functional impulsivity is associated with better executive functioning, cognitive skills that help mental control and self-regulatioN

An illustration of this impulsivity would t be Biden's recent clear dishonesty of claiming he approved 

of the Bin Laden asassination when it is clear and on record  that he did not approve and strenuously opposed it.

still. with the US press (and American voter) you can get away with anything,.
