I was a psych major back in college and have always been fond of the discipline, so I think that's really great. I'll definitely try and make it on November 10th! And it's funny you mentioned Myers-Briggs. Like Pavlov, Watson, and Milgram, that's one of those classic psychological studies that pops up in just about every intro class. Oddly enough, we actually reenacted the Milgram study a couple days ago here in the office. What we did is we hooked our CEO, Dave, up to 50-volt electric wires and put Joseph and Salar in the conference room with the controller. Turns out, our findings were the same as the Milgram study. As with the participant in the study, both Joseph and Salar applied maximum voltage to poor ol' Dave. What do you think that means? Were they subconsciously following the orders of an authority figure, perhaps Katie? Or, does this suggest that the Joseph and Salar need a bigger budget for more office snacks and community events?
