The Quirky Science of Everyday Life
Have you ever traced the letter Q on your forehead? The direction you draw it - with the tail pointing toward your right eye (readable to you) or your left eye (readable to others) - reveals something profound about your personality and social awareness. This simple test exemplifies "quirkology," the scientific study of the peculiar aspects of everyday life pioneered by psychologist Richard Wiseman. His groundbreaking work has captivated millions worldwide, with his books translated into over 30 languages and his viral videos amassing more than 500 million views. What began as a psychology undergraduate's curiosity about how couples perceive time at train stations has evolved into a revolutionary approach to understanding human behavior - one that follows in the footsteps of maverick scientists who weren't afraid to explore the unusual.
