really interesting stuff, Id like to think in this situation I wouldnt conform at all, but I know that would most likely be rubbish :D

I was part of the same experiment in grade 7. The grade 10 psychology was doing experiments on my grade 7 class. It wasn't my peers sitting beside me it was grade 10 students. I failed the first time but the second time I got up and took a closer look at the cards and used my finger to measure the lines and corrected the other students. They ended my test after the next time cuz I started asking questions. As it turned out more than 3/4 of my class conformed to what the older students said.

@MsColdCanada yeah you're right.

[GatameOne]

@A736staz I disagree.

That is why votes are held by secret ballot and not by saying "aye" or "nay" in the general public.

How do the actor not laugh.. jesus

I get slapped down for having an ego on me -- but I know I would NOT conform and I would NOT electrocute a perfect stranger and I WOULD bang on a smoking door

Be an individualist & trust your brain, that's my only advice for living

When without a massive crowd of uni-cell followers arrogant narcissists are the safest type of human on the globe
