can i just add comments?
regarding 'the forer effect', with reference to barnum (as in circus): just my observations: the forer effect was tested onn Forer's students. Psychology students interested in Forer's work (for whatever personal reasons) were consistently providing similar responses. A broader survey, I believe, would differ from "Forer's effect". With all due respect to the scientifically minded, an inherent "flaw" of proving one's belief, a.k.a. hypothesis, is the 'desire'. Desire can seem like a flaw. We can believe that we are circumventing it. However, 'desiring' is a wonderful human trait, it is not a flaw, and it is present of every step of every scientific endeavour. (I desire to mention quarks, isn't it quarks that respond to our...what is that word..expectation...perhaps we could venture to call it inclination?) Never mind someone's personal reasons for entering the field of psychology...such as behaviour correction, controlling something perhaps, bringing order to the right side of the brain?...hmmmm ...Does everyone go to a circus (Barnum again)? Are most circus fans scientists? Are most circus fans sceptics? Perhaps a few enquiring minds. Are these questions worth answering? Perhaps it's enough to point to typefocus.com. Who created it? Psychologists? Were they followers of Forer? Or prepared by Forer to avoid some pitfalls? Having typed that, I WAS looking up Kabalarian, and found also skepdic.com [does the reader appreciate irony or paradox? please let me know], and now I must sleep, can i finish this later? how? don't tell me i have to read the user page Thank you Kukini for the fine welcome, was it spontaneous (automatic) or are you really a kukini? cheers may you have good posture, a calm countenance, and practice loving acceptance
