    Maybe i could just start by not conforming just to perception and start using science, like standing up and messuring the lines myself. But maybe if i don't do that is because i'm comforming not my perception or judment but my assertion, the fact that to me it looks a certain way.

    Although most people find it very uncomfortable to stand out and risk looking foolish, it is my greatest fear to appear normal and risk just fitting in...and my greatest joy is to stand out and look foolish.

    yes you are right, i know conformity worked for me cause i had read the whole thing but with almost everyone around me doing these things, i felt that i was wrong somehow so i got up and started following these steps. im fairly certain that we the first 5 people to dont do anything, read the whole test but i dont know for certain about the others.

    I also did this test. I think you should take into account that it may not be conformity that makes people do this, but the fact that they didn't actually read all of the questions...

    at the end of the test there were only 2 people that sat down. after around 5 minutes the first person gave in to conformity, and started following steps 2-14 in the test he also said in the middle of a group that all followed the steps, i soon conformed too and did what they did. the only 2 persons that didnt conform sat next to each other and talked. while the rest of the class just did idiotic things.
