The Research of Richard Wiseman

Professor Richard Wiseman is a person, who has established an international reputation for his research into unusual areas of psychology, including deception, humor, luck and the paranormal. He has published over 40 papers in refereed academic journals, including articles in one of the world’s most respected science publications, Nature.

Richard Wiseman has his own website and blog where we can find the information about his biography, research, books, talks, shows and media. Also we can participate in some experiments. So I would like to tell about few of them.

Firstly, it was fun to have a few not-so-serious tests that helped to know more about me. There was given three tests. “The Q Test” provided some insight whether I am ‘self’ or ‘other’ centered. “The Finger Test” analyzed the amount or testosterones and “the sex of the brain”. “The Thumb Test” exhibited what side of mine brain is dominant.

Secondly, I take part in experiment about identifying someone’s personality from their face. There was given two photographs of people each time and I had to choose that one which imaged a particular trait better.

In conclusion, Richard Wiseman has done plenty research, which are really interesting and useful. So, if you want to know more, go to his website and see it for yourself.
