mine was 2...
MINE WAS 4???
ok... well.. it doesn't always work.
psychologists claim that roughly 90%+ of people will choose 3. why? it has something to do with the fact that your brain wants to fill in 'missing data'. if you read the question it mentions 1, 2 (to) and 4. so.. the theory is that your brain will spit out 3.
i tried it at work and about 65-70% of people did, indeed, choose 3. a far cry from 90% - so maybe this one is an urban legend.
btw... i chose 3.
My number was 2, Andrew was 1, and John was 3. 33% for our family.
hmm... epic fail. clearly.
at least we all had fun with it.
mine was 3!!!!! way to go Mr Wizard...
Mine was three too! Maybe it's a Vicki thing? LOL!
