For the astrology test, each student was given a detailed horoscope
-
They were told that it was drawn up by a professional based on information they
-
had supplied about when and where they were born
-
Actually these horoscopes were not quite what they appeared to be
-
I'd like you to share something with me, if you'd be so kind.
-
I asked the student's to grade them for accuracy on a scale of one to five
-
Five being the most accurate.
-
How many gave it a one? Let's have a show of hands.
-
Two?
-
Three?
-
Four?
-
And five?
-
Okay. So we got pretty highly on this then.
-
Let's do a little experiment then. You've got your horoscopes right in front of you.
-
Take them in your hand like this and hand them over your shoulders to the person behind you
-
And the guys at the end will have to bring them up to the front as these people at the front don't have one now.
-
Okay, everone changed them around
-
Open up someone else's horoscope and read it carefully please
-
[laughter]
-
What a surprise!
-
They all had received the same horoscope.
