FURN!!!

FURN! Because FUN needs an R!

It's not males or females in particular and/or more or less specifically that are so easily predictable in that fashion--we all are.

In other words, males and females are equally easily predictable in that fashion.

That fashion, as in the following (please read both links before engaging in any clicking behavior):

Men, do not click this link. This is for women's eyes only. Women only, click this link.

and

Women, do not click this link. This is for men's eyes only. Men only, click this link.

See, I can just as accurately predict that men will click on the first hyperlink when presented with it alone as I can that women will click on the second hyperlink when presented with it alone.

Now the questions:

1. How many of you clicked on the hyperlink you were not supposed to?

2. How many of you clicked on the one you were supposed to (assuming you were required to click one in the first place)?

3. How many of you clicked both?

4. Of those of you who clicked both, which hyperlink did you click first?

5. Which one second? (I'm kidding.)

6. How many of you clicked neither?

7. How many of you are reading these questions before you click? You people need to stop reading now.

8. Of those of you who are still reading these questions before you click, is what you are reading influencing your decision as to which one(s) to click, in which order to click them, and/or whether or not to click one to begin with? You people need to stop reading now. Still. Again. Both.

9. How many of you engaged in some or all of your clicking behavior before you began reading these questions?

10. How many of you engaged in some or all of your clicking behavior after you began reading these questions, but before you finished reading them?

11. How many of you are still being stubborn and have gotten to the last question before you engaged in any clicking behavior at all?! YOU PEOPLE ARE GREAT BECAUSE, WITHOUT YOU PEOPLE, THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY WOULD NOT EXIST!!! YOU PEOPLE ROCK!!! Now go back and engage in some clicking behavior before you really do prove just how predictable we are as humans...

Oh, and, one last thing... How many of you rocking people without whom psychology would not exist are male, and how many are female? See? Toldya.

PS. For those of you who clicked: No, you're not missing anything. There really isn't anything behind the lj-cuts that isn't already in the main post. Gotcha!

randomness, cleverness, language, linguistics, language & linguistics, psychology
