testing


i heard about this test on npr it was created by a linguistics professor at unc chapel hill. the quiz asks you to answer questions on pronunciations and word usage to determine whether youre a damyankee or a good ol southern rebel. its fun and i reckon yall might just learnt sumthing 'bout yo'self. i scored a 93% southern beat that!!!



this one determines what level of white you are; from pasty to translucent




im reading this book by malcolm gladwell, 'blink' about the importance of our subconscious in making decisions. he and the authors of 'freakonomics' have taken a scientific approach to explaining phenomenon we rarely think about consciously. there a link to a series of tests that expose unconscious preferences to everyday interactions; race, gender, sexual orientation, weapons etc... its interesting
