Experiment Result

[Shaun Hately]

OK - so let me tell you what the experiment was about.

We were told in one of my education classes that if you ask a group of people to 
ID a particular individual from a group photograph, on any criteria, their choices 
will tend to cluster. The same people will tend to get identified. It doesn't matter 
what the criteria is, choices cluster. I just wanted to see if that happened here.

I asked the question on two different lists.

is the same image but with numbers added to indicate how many times each 
person was identified.

Looks to me like there may be some clustering going on. Over a third of 
responses id'd only three people.

Did anyone get me?

Yes, and apparently I looked like Neville Longbottom. I now curse the fact that the 
photographer made me take off the round framed glasses I wore back then!

I'm the boy on the top row, third from the left, who received 4 votes.

Thanks to those who took the trouble to answer.
