Psychology: Mind Reading for Beginners (Part 2)

How free are our decisions?
Sometimes our decisions are influenced by subtle or even subliminal signals.
In addition scientists often observe a human tendency to choose an option in the middle (Center Stage effect).
This makes people predictable. Good Mentalists use this knowledge to simulate mind reading...

I chose + (card). I believe is positive thinking and that card meant to add something; that could be knowledge, friends and others. Cause through addition or be together we can do something great.

I chose the square because my initial choice was the wavy lines. I thought that if my first choice is wavy lines I'm going to chose another to throw it off. And it seemed to work. I like to be counter intuitive quite often just to see what would happen.

My initial choice was of course wavy lines but with in a few seconds, I noticed it was placed differently so I chose star. But it was obvious that most people will choose star as it is very unique. So at last I shifted my choice to cross.

[stevewells]

I picked the star because the outline is thicker stood out more plus my mood is positive today like the stars shining bright!!!

[lordelite]

I choose 🔲 it makes me think of a foundation, point, and specific area I did not had my focus on the waves or in anything phycology that "effect" ppl, bc I have a immune mindset. ( Nothing outside my own self changes what I think )

[svetlanakonotopchik]

I couldn't choose between the Wave or the Star, I liked Star more, but looking at the Wave made me feel more relaxed. I choosed Wave. Didn't even notice at first that Wave card was not laying straight like other cards.

I chose square because i knew most people would choose something in the middle, and since this was mind reading everyone wants to prove the mind reader wrong, so i chose the one anyone would least likely choose.

[khemnathpaudyal]

I choose the square because it looks simple among all.. I think I m among the rare people who doesn't like complicated things

[maryamsharkey]

the reason i chose the wavy one was because i couldn't decide between the other three so i went with the wavy one since it was different

[LG]

When the cards were put out I picked the +. But when I saw the star I chose that one because it makes me think of a obsession I had for stars when I was younger.

[prakrutikakanungo]

Was confused with the Star and the Waves cards till the last but my eyes said they'd rather choose the wavy one, when I still had the star in my mind.

Wave lines mostly define water flow in the pond, river and sea. Where it will help you to reduce your overthinking process and help you to stay at peace. My own experience words.

I chose star✩. And actually i didnt even give attention on the wave card for being slightly cross.... i felt it jst happened ven u placed the card....
But acctully this video was quiet the part one was nice....
I wish u wuld put yet more videos on psycology ....

[bieverdavid]

I really think, that contextual priming is completely true and correct, because the waves also made me think about water, the star like stars in the sky and the plus sign on mathematics and rising something up like volume, speed etc just for the square i didn't really had a relation to it.... i wish u a nice day

[jonahgoddard]

I picked the wavy lines because it reminded me of water and Bruce Lee's philosophy and quotes about being like water.

[brisbaneartandcultureexcha]

This is quite interesting. I also tried to 'trick' the system. I noticed that the wavy card was askew so I ignored that one as I figured it was being emphasised so that it would be chosen. My gut instinct was actually the star (perhaps because it is at night) but keeping that in mind as my 'gut instinct', I chose the square to try fool the system. I usually choose the cubicle closest to the door and I choose the product on the side (I think for reasons of neatness as others have said). I feel like I would choose flowers etc. according to my preference but rather than position or context but am interested to try this. Very interested in mind reading. I think it must be a kind of spiritual phenomenon which I have come to believe is real but can be faked.

[fathimasanaep]

I'm an psychology student 💖and also I'm choose the wavy...

[khabibnurmagomedov]

I've tried these kinds of exercises online. Where you get to chose something. But this time I thought I'd stop judging what I think looks good or interesting and just go with the flow. I decided to chose what I found interesting not what I think. And was just waiting to swipe off thos video the moment you reveal the wrong answer. But you didn't and after hearing the answer my jaw just dropped.

[ramjirajbhar]

I chose waves
And after listening ur explanation I think I belong to common man's thinking ability nothing out of the box

But I chose waves coz I like water n I like to swim!!
So contextual

[snehanair]

Star..cuz i love astronomical objects!..bt though I intially chose waves..as it seemed to b attracting..dunno y!
