I'm Leo😌 but if we talk about astrology - I'm an aquarius
Added 2024-02-20 06:29:22 +0000 UTCWhat do I think about zodiac signs and why do I joke about this topic quite often on Instagram?
Astrology is considered a pseudoscience and has no evidence base.
In 1948, psychologist Bertram Forer conducted an experiment in which he gave personality tests to students and gave each one the same vague text from a horoscope, presenting it as an individual personality analysis. Students were then asked to rate the accuracy of the description. The average rating was high, indicating that people often rate the accuracy of such generalized descriptions presented to them as individual ones. Subsequently, the experiment was repeated many times with the same result [1]. This effect particularly explains the popularity of astrology and other pseudosciences.
That is, in essence, our brain is simply fooling us😁
And yes, aquarius sign is so skeptical😏
