Sometimes, I wonder why I get stuck with all the colorful participants? First, there was the guy with the "Got Testing" t-shirt who wanted to take a picture of himself looking like a dork with the electrode cap on, who would slam his fist on the table if he "communicated" the wrong letter. Then there was the guy who inappropriately spelled out curse words for his four letter words. Next, came the pothead Shaggy look a like who came in two weeks early insisting he didn't screw up the dates and today, waiting outside the lab listening to his Ipod loud enough for the entire floor to hear was Mr. Dreadlocks. Dude, it clearly states no braids or dreads allowed when you sign up! But my all time favorite so far was the humble Freshman, who in response to my supportive compliments that are purposely doled out to increase motivation, simply stated, "I know I'm just awesome." Even if in fact you really are, you never verbally agree with the person?! That just cancels out any attribute you might have had. This experiment may not be proving that spirituality is a strong force in the new generation but it does confirm that females are less likely to make fools of themselves than males.
*(Putting blue streaks in your hair and dressing up for Halloween when you are an grown adult doesn't make you foolish if it is done to make your children happy).
