Sound the trumpets and fire the rifles into the air - the Do You Just Get Logan Lynn contest has come to a shocking conclusion!
Before we announce the winner, bear this in mind: on YJGM, the average random guess is 0.349, and the average score overall is 0.387. The winning Logan Lynn guess: 0.75. That's right - Logan's winning score was basically at the "frighteningly clairvoyant" level.
However, an interesting trouble arose when we went through the huge, huge volume of entries: we had two frighteningly clairvoyant people with guessing scores of 0.75! "What are we going to do with two winners who tied precisely with some of the highest guessing scores we've ever seen?" The solution: because the scores were ludicrously high, both of them win! Logan Lynn and YJGM prize packs, including signed copies of From Pillar to Post and personalized YJGM mugs!
With no further ado, introducing Winner #1: Keli Jackson! One of the loveliest ladies in Missouri, Keli is one of the most overall solid guessers on YJGM. While Keli wouldn't reveal what sort of Hogwarts-style training resulted in her psychic powers, in this interview from the YJGM Winner's Circle she does open up about her instincts, her favorite celebrities, and why it is that one shouldn't trust a straight-shooter.
YJGM: What was your strategy in guessing Logan Lynn's personality?
Keli: I always go with my gut instincts when assessing personalities. Although not always accurate, I've learned I can trust my instincts to give me a loose sketch of a person. Logan gave away a lot in his clues, so it wasn't difficult to guess him.
YJGM: Are you better at guessing people's personalities online or off? Why?
Keli: I am better at guessing in person because I rely a lot on nonverbal cues to read others. Unless someone is very controlled, for most of us, what we actually project is vastly different than what we intend to share or communicate about ourselves. I like being able to read people and then continually evaluate whether I am accurate or not, looking for clues that support or are counter to my assumptions. It is easier to control yourself in writing than in person.
YJGM: Have you heard Logan's music before? What did you think?
Keli: I listened to some of Logan's music after I took the quiz and I liked it. He writes some pretty revealing lyrics that are hopeful yet a bit dark, which is a cool combination. Nice to be hopeful after the dark periods, because isn't that the challenge of moving through the world as an adult? I'm also a huge Dandy Warhols fan and it seems that Logan is, too.
YJGM: If you could have any celebrity be the next YJGM celebrity guest, who would it be?
Keli: So many. Conan O'Brien. Robert Downey Jr. Regina Spektor. Michelle and/or Barack Obama. J.J. Abrams. Tim Gunn. Is this list too pop-culture?
YJGM: Anything else you'd like YJGM blog readers to know?
Keli: If someone tells you they are a "straight shooter," they are probably anything but.
Coming up next, we present to you Winner #2! Also, stay tuned for information about our next contest. Here's a hint, though: it's going to be off the chain!
