Multiple Facets

Multiple Facets
First impression vs first answer?

So, think on this one...first impressions are typically not an accurate representation of a person, as there are so many facets of their personality that you generally change your mind about that person as you get to know them.

But for multiple choice questions on an exam, studies have shown your first answer is usually correct.

Why? Maybe because there are only 3-5 possible answers per exam question, but a multitude of personality factors per human?? Ponder this one with me? :)

Consider this: we make first impressions (assumptions, feelings, whatever you want to call them) about people based on our experiences. We have subliminally and instinctively defined certain attributes of a person by some small sampling of what we see. It's a survival mechanism. But how often are you totally wrong about a person - and I mean like or dislike, not I bet they're married or something specific? I think more often than not, it turns out that we were right to like or dislike someone, even though that initial feeling only came from that first impression. Therefore, our first "answer" was correct.
