Experiment Results: How did you do?


“Don’t judge someone based on how they look on the outside.”

I gave you a chance to do just that.  

In this study, I am attempting to either prove or disprove the statement “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” Twice weekly I will post images of complete strangers. Listed below these photos will be a simple list of questions which I believe may be determined by the person’s appearance. I will ask each person to answer these questions about themselves before I post their photo

  1. Age
  2.  Introvert or Extrovert
  3. Cat or Dog Person
  4. Books or Movies
  5. Indoor or Outdoor Person

  1. Hey thanks.
    You know I nearly said dubstep too cos it was playing in my house when I answered that.

    Are you sure I didn't win cos I said you were handsome though ???

  2. I said i'm widely known to get the age wrong didn't I? :-) ...but are you sure you're really 19? does it say that in your ID really? this was cool...maybe next picture you could add impulsive/thinks before acting or something like that..even though i reckon it would be real hard to guess that just from a picture and not even a few words of conversation, but it's probably less difficult to guess than the kind of music one likes which is a little too specific in my opinion. Anyways good idea this experiment, i'll be sure to stop by again. Cheers
