Most likely stemming from my childhood - and I say this with no ego - I am likely the most mentally controlled person that I've ever known.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not really all that certain it is an advantage or not - certainly I don't suffer the extreme sadness/depression that many other people do, but I don't particularily get joyful or ridiculously happy either.
Again, this probably sounds like I'm attempting to toot my own horn here, but I honestly cannot remember any particular incidents where I have acted irrationally based on my emotions. Hell, for the longest time I was only vaguely aware that I even had emotions.
In all likelyhood it is probably just a defense mechanism that I've established, but I like to attribute it to my observations of emotional people. Very, very seldom in my life have I seen someone who is unduly upset make a rational decision - nor even one that I could foresee a positive end result. Extreme anger is especially the case.
I do my absolute best not to make any decisions based on any emotion alone. Certainly my emotions probably influence my decision whether I like it or not, but I have done precisely the opposite of what my emotions dictated time and time again because from a more intellectual viewpoint, it was the incorrect choice to make.
Boy, a psychologist would have a field day with me...
