    I think it's both. Introverts are more likely to become academic in one way or the other. Loners are more likely to adopt extreme (not necessarily faulty) points of view and not be talked out of it by their peers, if they have any.

    that is also a true possibility.

      These were the conclusions of the study that reported this.

        After analyzing the data, the researchers’ hypothesis was confirmed: Social exclusion does lead to superstitious beliefs and, according to their statistical analyses, is likely the result of one searching for meaning in everyday experiences.

        “Those who are excluded may begin to wonder why they’re excluded in the first place, causing them to seek meaning in their lives. This may then lead them to endorse certain conspiracy beliefs,” Coman said. “When you’re included, it doesn’t necessarily trigger the same response."

        First it's clear that it is not the same as the studies conclusion as @the-ego-is-you's remark.. Next, there were two different studies that mirrored each other, not one study.
        @the-ego-is-you didn't conclude that at all,and it must be pointed that he even gave the benefit of doubt as opposed to the conclusions of the study by mentioning "not necessarily faulty" when he talked about "their points of view" as opposed to the clearly different meaning that the Assistant professor chose to use..
