An underappreciated form of neurological privilege is having the kind of brain that allows you to decide exactly how much you're willing to let your anger cost you

I don't think I'm especially privileged or underprivileged in this regard, but I've noticed that it seems to be an overwhelmingly important factor in outcomes for the people around me & a strong filter on success

tracks directly with conscientiousness personality trait. that one is an enormous predictor of success in academic and professional environments.

I think these two are either uncorrelated or anticorrelated. Plenty of chill people who don't let anger get to them and are low on conscientiousness.

"chillness" would be low neurosis (and possibly high agreeableness) trait in the big 5 model. conscientiousness is the one that's about self-restraint, managing behaviors, and meeting expectations.

so a "chill" person might just not get angry very often, but when they do they might not be able to control it well (depends on how conscientious they are). a high conscientiousness person will have the self-restraint to avoid destructive behaviors when they actually are angry.
