Psychologist explains 7 personality traits of people who walk fast

Your walking speed says a lot about your character.

By Emily Shiffer

There are two camps when it comes to walking speed: fast walkers and slow walkers. In a crowd of commuters, it's easy to differentiate who is who.

While fast walkers and slow walkers may irritate each other while trying to get from Point A to Point B, their differences go a lot deeper psychologically. People who walk fast have certain personality and character traits based on their walking pace that are backed by science.

For example, fast walkers may be more conscientious. "Conscientiousness is the trait associated with organization, discipline, and reliability," Christal Castagnozz, Clinical Director and Clinical Psychologist at Thrive Psychology Health Team, tells Upworthy. "People high in this trait tend to manage their time well and move with intention. Research shows that fast walkers typically demonstrate goal-directed behavior which is a trademark of this trait. This often reflects their ability to be productive, stay on track, and efficient."

Resurfaced 1997 video of Jim Carrey covering The Beatles' 'I am the Walrus' is pure, unhinged brilliance

"God spent a little more time on him. What a talent."

By Ryan Reed

Otis Redding. Stevie Wonder. David Bowie. Jimi Hendrix. Jim Carrey? All of those icons, including that last one, have put their own unique stamp on a classic Beatles song. In 1997, still at his wacky peak of physical comedy, Carrey took part in the Beatles tribute album In My Life, compiled by the band’s longtime producer George Martin. The Ace Ventura star’s contribution was a gleefully unhinged—and undeniably impressive—version of the band’s 1967 psych-pop staple "I Am the Walrus."

In-studio footage of the recording session has resurfaced online and gone viral via the Instagram account All Things Music. People are genuinely blown away by the performance, with some even speculating (incorrectly) that the video is AI-generated. "eeer ..it’s AI," one user wrote. "Al video. It’s so easy to make nowadays," added another. Someone else noted, 'The video looks like it’s ai…" One person was so taken aback, they immediately sought out the full clip on YouTube: "Who is here [in] 2025 after seeing a clip of Jim singing on insta and had to fact-check?" they wrote. You know you’ve recorded a great vocal when some people don’t think you’re a human.

Dallas, Troy, and Yvonne, you guys deserve everything. ♥️

Mailman is annoyed he has to issue a another end-of-the-year warning to women on his route

Plus, six of the craziest things postal employees have seen on the job.

By Tod Perry

Working as a mail carrier for the United States Postal Service opens you up to a lot of unique situations. Every day you trek up and down America’s streets, walk up to people’s front doors or into the courtyards of apartment complexes, there's the chance to see or experience something...odd. USPS employees see into houses and encounter all sorts of unique characters hanging out on their porches in the middle of a workday.

Michael Morgan II, a USPS mailman, recently posted a blunt TikTok video where he admits he’s had it with the nudity he accidentally encounters on the job. Sadly, it’s the second time he’s had to tell his followers to be careful when they’re in front of their windows.

22 forgotten slogans and phrases from commercials that Boomers and Gen Xers will instantly recognize

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."

By Emily Shiffer

Jingles and slogans from commercials are meant to be catchy. For Boomers (those born from 1946 to 1964) and Gen Xers (those born from 1965 to 1980), hearing certain songs and phrases from back in the day can bring them right back to their childhood.

These jingles (also known as earworms) never seem to fade away from memory, and that's on purpose. It's part of the marketing science behind how they're made.

"The way that we store music in our brains is a lot different from text, numbers, things like that. It goes a lot longer into our past and we remember music a lot longer than just a string of words," said Seth Ketron, assistant marketing professor at St. Thomas University, in an interview with CBS News.
