Interesting thought, but I wouldn't read too much into it... Even if it does change a population's average personality, it still won't mean much to an individual Then again, I have cats...
Just my own opinion...
Also, a while back Fuller Torrey published the findings that T gondii infection was twice as common in schizophrenics than the general population. OMG! Cat Virus Causes Mental Illness! Um... No, there's a correlation between one type of mental illness and T. gondii. And anyway, it would have to be about ten times more common for it to be of any real scientific interest.
That said, I do have cats, so I can tell you with a high degree of certainty -- cats DO make you crazy...
