Suggestibility/imagination test.

[blaaah]

Just clear your mind, play the video, listen and imagine.

I got about 10cm.

 

[Aldo]

So is your right hand supposed to be higher than your left?
If so I must have negative imagination...
My left hand went about 2cm higher than my right.
Maybe I'm just super strong and so bricks don't phase me...

 

[blaaah]

Interesting result, but 2cm may count as not much of a change. But if it is then maybe to do with trying to lift the bricks...?

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

My left hand ended up 3" higher than my right. I'm assuming I pictured really heavy bricks and was using my muscles to hold my hand up in place?!

Did it again. This time it was about 5cm...

 

[blaaah]

So there maybe a difference in people that are very relaxed (like me) while listening to his voice,or some people with raised alertness/focus/attention due to other factors who may react in a more active controlling way. Just a thought, I haven't read further onto what results mean.
Can you try doing it again, and make yourself, dreamy,sleepy, without a care as if he is telling you bed time story lol.

 

[raz_10]

I tried it...even without him mentioning the left hand I felt my left hand moving.
However the difference was 3".

 

[lbsf1]

This didn't work for me, I listen and picture it however it stays in my mind and my hands feel like moving however then I think that and it defeats the point.

Or I may just be too Phlosphical.

 

[blaaah]

While I still had my eyes closed half way through I started laughing out loud as i could feel my arms moving involuntarily.

 

[Horde_R35]

Well, my hands stayed just the same as they were... i dont think they moved at all, but i felt like they were moving!

 

[MistaX]

I didn't do it at all because simply doing this test means you're suggestible as 🤬.

Ditto.

 

[blaaah]

I don't believe that.

 

[MistaX]

I don't believe that.

Random guy gives you random link to random video telling you to do this.

Then you go and do it.

Doesn't really take that much logic to figure out you're highly suggestible.

This man speaks the truth.

 

[blaaah]

Lol.
I wanted to do the test.
You are suggestible by completely avoiding any test related to suggestibility, you are preprogrammed to have the same response no matter the test even without looking. I look then make my opinion on it. You just give an opinion without looking. Who is the more suggestible....?
But maybe suggestible is the wrong word I admit. Perhaps presumptuous, and therefore open to being manipulated because of that presumption, it is your character make-up, which can be picked up on and played with, effectively making you suggestible through certain procedures knowing your reaction.

You suggested we do the test, people did it. People didn't know what they were doing, what the test was or who you are. For all we know it could have been a Ricker Roll.

Also this.

 

[blaaah]

Your point being?
Yes I invited people to do a test, it might be a joke or might not be, but you need to look to give appropriate comment.

Also this.

I'm not clicking on that it's probably a picture of a big penis or something, and i'm not gay.

 

[MistaX]

The whole thing is an appropriate comment.

This whole thread is a test of the very same standards the video test is about.

"Close your eyes and imagine something and this is how much of a sheep you are"

"Click this link, do what's in this video and this is how much of a sheep you are"


Same thing.

I'm not clicking on that it's probably a picture of a big penis or something, and i'm not gay.

I'm not that clever.

 

[blaaah]

Mmm only vaguely.
The video uses audi to use your imagination to form a picture/story and a physical response with which to feel and observe.
All you get from thinking about whether to click on something is a bit of pre-set opinion or an interest to try something...

I didn't see any Audi's in the video but I will provide one for you right now.

 

[blaaah]

There, you go , I deliberately misspelled Audio to Audi, in order to get a reaction of suggestibility hoping someone would post a picture of an Audi, that person was you. Congratulations you passed the suggestibility experiment, without you knowing of course.👍

Your failure defense mechanism is unbelievably flawed.
What a glorious plan that would've been, if it were true.

But alas, it is only a facade.

 

[blaaah]

I'm afraid it is true, and here is the citation that I hold ready published:

So... my hands were at the same height they were when I started... means... nothing, really...

 

[Lain]

My right hand was slightly higher than my left. Pretty amusing.

This whole thread is a test of the very same standards the video test is about.

"Close your eyes and imagine something and this is how much of a sheep you are"

"Click this link, do what's in this video and this is how much of a sheep you are"

If the difference in the position of your hands at the end of the video were a measure of how much of a sheep you are, this would be true. But it's not, so it isn't.

I fail to see how trying a simple experiment in a video makes one a "sheep". If the video started telling us to do absurd things, like stick a finger into an outlet to test how conductive we are, or to fork over our cash, obviously most people wouldn't do it. By your logic, everyone who listens to any sort of advice or suggestion, bad or good, is a "sheep". Which is everyone.

This sheep talk is nonsense. You don't wanna try the simple, harmless experiment in the video? Great, don't bother posting in this thread then.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

My hands didn't move at all.

 

[niky]

The whole problem with this test is thus:

You're telling people you're testing to see whether they're suggestible or not. So whether their hands would be at different levels after this test on any other occassion... on this occassion, whether the hands will move or not is more dependent on whether the subject thinks he is suggestible or not... not whether he/she really is.

 

[Lizard]

Both my hands fell to the table and my sholders hurt.
