		<description><![CDATA[As a &#8220;brain personality,&#8221; attention deficit disorder drives people into executive positions and business ownership via its strengths (e.g., ability to multitask) and its weakenesses (e.g., lack of patience).

		<description><![CDATA[Some naysayers argue that attention deficit disorder isn&#8217;t a real problem, or that it&#8217;s only a problem for people who fail to take personal responsibility for their brains and behaviors.
