My pysche class was experimented on. It was just… let me explain.

My teacher started by saying that blue/green eyed people are smarter than brown eyed people. She then proceeded to divide the class by eye color and giving us a sheet of characters that were going to be used ona spelling test immediately afterwards. Both sides received the same symbol translations. The sheet I was handed looked like this (as best as I can resemble it with ASCII):

A = _|

B = |_|

C = |_

D = ]

E = []

F = [

G = -|

H = |-|

I = |-

Simple enough. I looked at the sheet and immediately recognized it for what it was. That list is a bit hard to read, but some of you may already have an idea of what it is. We were told to learn the symbols on this sheet however we wanted (besides writing it down). After 1 minute, we put them away and took a spelling test with 5 simple words. I, having figured out how it works, got 5/5 right. The scores were tallied for each side and were 2.3: brown, 4.29: blue/green. How can this be? Well, then both sides were allowed to see the other's sheets. The symbols were the same, but the blue/green side's sheet was organized in such a way that made the pattern obvious. I will show you below what it looked like:

A | B | C

–+–+–

D | E | F

–+–+–

G | H| I

Letters arranged on a tic-tac-toe board (also known as the pigpen code). The point of the experiment had nothing to do with eye color. Teachers give students information and don't connect it to the big picture or concept in a way that shows how everything relates (like the blue/green group's sheet). Instead, they give information in ways like the brown group's sheet.

So, this simply proved to myself that I am actually smarter than most people because I don't need the information organized, I am completely capable of doing it myself :P Explains why I always do so much better than most everyone else in every other class I've ever had <.<
