World’s Quickest Personality Test

Very cute, as usual. I use this demo in my intro psych course (which I haven’t taught in years, but still love it). It is actually a pretty good test of how easily one may be hypnotized (which is not correlated with intelligence or gullibility, btw). Here’s the funny part: I’m the one telling them what to do, but afterward I always find myself with my hands wide apart…

PS: Same thing happens when I’m in the audience.
