Greetings,

Try this little mind game with me, keep to the circumstances and rules below

I exclude William from this test as he might have done it on the other forum of which we were members

"Of course William if it is new to you go ahead and give it a bash"

1) Get pen and paper

Try your best to draw the shapes or objects that I will try to influence you to draw under the suggested circumstances below

Remember if you stop and think about what you are going to draw fr too long the experiment will most likely fail

Scoll down now

Don't reveal what you have drawn until a few members have joined the experiment

Draw any two or three shapes that immediately pops into your mind. Don't cheat draw the shapes immediately.

I forgot to tell you that you can draw the shapes one inside the other, in fact I would prefer that.

Though your preference for participants to draw the shapes one inside the other does not show whether your intentions are to offer details of what you initially attempted to infuence us to draw (and increase the probability of success of the experiment) or to get those who have not yet participated to draw shapes one inside the other, which is not what you initially attempted to infuence us to draw (and decrease the probability of success of the experiment), your influence (whatever your motivation is for doing so) has now been placed in writing, and thus changed the initial conditions of the experiment ie purely projected influence. Blah blah blah, go on just tell us what you initially wanted us to draw... please Smile

@Alan McDougall,

OK,

I tried to get you to draw,

1) a circle with a triangle inside or the reverse

3) A square inside a circle or the reverse.

Those of you that stopped to think about it for too long would have most likely drawn something more elaborate

I made a mistake by not asking you guys to draw one object inside the other and if you drew separate shapes they most likely would have been

a circle, square, triangle or ??

The group that responded are very small , but lets see how near I came and if I came near I will explain
