I do the same thing, and always feel a little bit dorky about it, but it
works for me.

I can't find a quick Google answer to this, but I think looking up is an
indicator for kinesthetic learners. (Or maybe visual learners? Clears the
distractions so we can think.)

It's good to know that I'm not the only person who admits to that same
"looking for the answer" behavior (although I don't stand on one foot when I
do it) or to have gotten into hot water for rolling my eyes when asked a
question. Since I couldn't seem to break myself of the habit, I learned
instead to exaggerate the tic by tilting my whole head so that the motion is
not just an eye roll.

My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
