• Posted Talk About a Touchy Subject to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  After reading all about IQ and tests to give you a proper intelligence result, the more I realized how non-valid it can be. I realize there are many correlations that show it shows the potential success and job success, but...
• Commented on This is who I am
  Great point in bringing up that our personalities will act as a catalyst in our job career in the futures. Not only can we use them to have us excel in our profession, but we can use them to enjoy...
• Commented on Last post, so sad
  Yes the Big 5 personality test was almost a reality check for some of my traits. I even found out that I was a bit more neurotic than I had thought, but was not in any way one of my...
• Commented on Intelligence > Media
  I also agree with your article. However, we have to assume that the media always tries to bend scientific/psychological concepts into something they're really not. It is just a hyperbole that Hollywood likes to put on in order to make...
• Commented on pseudoscience
  It is true that these big companies use the style of pseudoscience as an efficient tool in marketing. It is also amazing to see that we as consumers see how outrageous these claims make, yet we buy their products anyways....
• Commented on ADHD is Personal to Me
  The only problem with diagnosing ADHD is that people can mistake the diagnosis in patients who indeed do not have it. For instance, someone could have autism at a relatively low severity so doctors will just diagnose it with ADHD....
• Commented on Is Being Gay A Choice?
  I'm glad you shared this. This is a real touchy subject. I believe in some cases it is a choice, but in others they cannot help it, it all depends on the severity of the emotions. Also, being bisexual also...
• Commented on Rapid Weightloss: Reality or Hoax?
  I was reading on your blog and starting to become annoyed, then I read the very last sentence, and you gained all the respect in the world from me. I know a lot of people that complain to be fat,...
• Commented on Divorce? It may not be as bad as you think.
  This is a very interesting way to look upon divorce. I had never really thought about fighting parents vs. non-fighting parents and the results. I just assumed that divorce in general had a negative connotation. However, the point you raise...
• Commented on I Want It To Be For Love . . . It Is My First Time.
  A great video! I liked your insight into classical conditioning, because it is a great example of how it is used effectively. Plus the humor and young demographic if reaches out to will get the youth population voting and for...
• Commented on Don't Wake up in a Roadside Ditch
  I could not agree more! This commercials are hilarious. It gets me to think though on how they think so thoroughly into the situations, I think the creators are on a little something. Anyways I like the perceptive you looked...
• Commented on "Dancing in the Dark"
  A great clip, just the humor was a bit cheesy. Plus I don't think that a sleepwalker can respond to questions that well while sleepwalking. Other than that, I agree that sleepwalking can be very dangerous in adults, especially ones...
• Commented on Football, Worth it or not?
  Great blog! As the NFL advances and all these players are becoming bigger and more powerful, worse injuries are going to occur. But I do disagree with your comment that women are passing up men in academics due to solely...
• Commented on The Benefits and Risks of Listening to a Social Group
  You poise a great point indirectly: when and when NOT to join social groups. We have to use our judgement to know when to join the group and when it is asinine to. You're correct in the fact that it...
• Commented on Am I the Only One?
  This is a great point that you have made! I believe the concept of conformity can also tie into this too because all these people felt the need to help because that was the norm for the situation. However, if...
• Commented on The Big Fat Middle Finger
  I agree that society should not just rely on an IQ test, it isn't all that credible. However I do disagree on the factor that IQ testing does have solid correlations to the job industry and people's intelligences. I realize...
• Posted Liar Liar Pants on Fire to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  Lying, it is apart of everyone's lives even though it is so frowned upon in society. It is moral's worst enemy. Studies have shown that college students will tell about two lies per day! So, when can we tell if...
• Commented on What were they thinking?
  This blog bodes a great point: the fact that Kohlberg's theory helps to understand the deeper meaning of why some people to non-moral actions. Looking at someone doing something quite wrong socially and morally can be easy, but understanding why...
• Commented on Mariah Carey is my Biological Mother!
  This is an absolute awesome blog! I like how you related this concept of psychology to your own personal life. In addition, I like how you shed some of your own light on the subject in regard to the rhetorical...
• Commented on Sex, Penis, and Vagina
  This blog really got my attention! Not only this, but the more I read on the more I became interested. The funny thing is I can relate because I used to do the cocktail effect if people were not paying...
• Posted Is This the Right Aim? to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  Have you ever held a toy nerf gun and tried to aim through one eye? You shoot the gun and sadly you miss the target. So, a great idea hits you, why not try to aim with the other eye!...
• Commented on Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover
  I really like this blog, especially since all of us freshman teens can relate. You provided a great example of this heuristic, and way to go on differentiating each heuristic. Nice job!...
• Posted A Problem in Aviation to PSY 1001 Section 02-03 Spring 2012
  It is unbelievable that we trust pilots to take people to locations from point a to point b safely everyday when in fact most pilots fail to notice another plane taxiing across the runway as they are trying to...
