Further Psychoanalytical Revelations

Analysis of the results from testing subject's responses to names of people reveals an interesting gender divide. Males often respond with descriptions of appearances, whereas females tend to respond with feelings. One male explained that when he hears a person's name, an image of that person appears in his mind, and then he describes one of their visual features ("old", "beard", "hot", "skinny").  Contrast this with responses from female subject J, whose emotional responses included "scary", "mad" and "dork".

  1. I think subject J has been mixing with the wrong type of men !!!

  2. I think a third post on this subject would go down well: the severity of responses to various staff member's names!

  3. Testing responses to colleague's names would be too controversial even for this blog. I will stick to celebrities.
