If you think calmly about horoscopes, blood type horoscopes, shrine fortune-telling, etc., don’t you think “You can’t win!”?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Today’s fortune cannot be applied to only 12 patterns, and blood type and personality cannot be applied to only 4 patterns.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I don’t think it’s different for each person because the omikuji of the shrine is randomly selected, but even so, it’s a printed matter and there are many people who draw the same omikuji.\u00a0In fact, I drew a fortune at the first visit of this year, but I drew exactly the same as my son.\u00a0The 50th guy at Osaka Temmangu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fortune-telling and psychological tests use the Barnum effect<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\r\n

Well, the fortune-telling and fortune-telling that you do on TV and magazines are like a kind of guess, entertainment, and spectacle that you know you’re being deceived, so I won’t say anything insane (although I say), but because of psychology. It seems that they can be explained by the “Barnum effect”.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

As an example, diagnose your personality.<\/span>
This page has a special program to profile and diagnose your personality based on the information and time of access to the site.<\/span>
Your personality is displayed in the square below.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

You are active and active, but you are also a realistic theorist and self-assertive.<\/span>
There are some shynesses, but he is also strong-willed, passionate and bold.<\/span>
In the part that I do not notice, I am a laid back, open-minded and friendly person, and I do not care much about the past and small things.<\/span>
On the other hand, it seems to be rough and frivolous.<\/span>
He is also a person with a strong sense of justice who does not tolerate injustice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

How is it?<\/span>
It can be said that it is a hit, and it can be said that it is not a hit.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Of course, it is a lie to have a program.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Well, it’s just a list of personality traits that seem to apply to everyone.\u00a0Most people have a sense of justice, and some may think that it might be the case if they say, “In the part that you don’t notice.”<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So, if you can make people think that you are “hit” in a phrase that seems to apply to you, you can psychologically mount it, so fortune-tellers can predict the future that seems to apply to everyone again. I think it’s okay to say in a vague way.\u00a0I don’t know.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It’s okay if it’s just a little fortune-telling in a magazine or something, but I don’t want to pay a lot of money for fortune-telling, psychological tests, or anything that smells like crap.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Well, it’s up to you to believe or not.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
