I believe that there is also cultural factor.

Some are famous for interrupting often (in France for instance), whilst for others it is the opposite. It can also be related to the language, e.g. in German or Japanese the verb is at the end of the sentence. Because of that, one need at least to wait for the person to finish the sentence to understand it.

That being said, you surely find German interrupters, and French adepts of the Strong Civility, but maybe in different proportions.
