Mark Frauenfelder over at Boing Boing asks an interesting question:
Here’s a test: let’s say a meeting, originally scheduled for Wednesday, has been moved forward two days. What is the new day of the meeting?
To me, the answer is Monday, but it turns out that how you answer the question says a lot about how you perceive time itself.
If you think it’s Friday, you imagine time as something you move through. If you think it’s Monday, you think of time as something that passes by you.
What does this have to do with anger?
Well, according to the British Psychological Society, "Friday" people have an angrier disposition, than "Monday" people.
Not sure how scientific this is (seems a little wobbly to me), but it sure makes for fun intra-office profiling.
