Ayesha has already answered this question brilliantly, so I haven't much to add.
We may consider what impulsivity actually means. Being impulsive means to not properly think through alternative courses of action that may be more suited to the situation...let's use a disagreement between two individuals as an example.
The unimpulsive individual may meet the disagreement with equanimity and decide that even if they have to back down, such a course is better than making the situation worse through inflammatory language or non-verbal communication.
The impulsive individual by contrast is liable to treat any slight provocation with haste and impulsivity meaning they will seize upon the first idea or reaction that presents itself.
Interestingly, one might observe what it might be like to be more impulsive somply by imbibing enough alcohol (I'm not suggesting this as an experiment) which temporarily dimmers the inhibitory actions of the frontal lobes.
