A total of 115 people guessed Dr. Phil Zimbardo's personality during our contest (55 members and 60 anonymous visitors). "Aumer" and "Corrie" held the lead until the last day when "Drokaergun" came out of nowhere and saw right through Dr. Zimbardo. Her score was r=.86 which was through the roof. When we caught up to her to award her a signed copy of The Lucifer Effect and a YouJustGetMe tshirt, we learned she is a 5th year Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota originally from Istanbul with interests in political psychology. Dr. Zimbardo was delighted by the overlap in interests and the mysterious connection. And it seemed to confirm what we've seen on YJGM: guessing someone's personality traits (page 1 of the clipboard) is the easy part. It's guessing their beliefs, values, and attitudes (pages 2 and 3 on the clipboard) that really sets a mind-reader apart from the rest. Guess a few random people to test that hypothesis! And thanks to everyone for playing.
Drokaergun gets Phil Zimbardo!
