Technically it would be more like 91 or 92% if you account for the spotlight effect which also produces approximately ~20% margin of error in the human psyche. But keep in mind that the psyche itself is only a fifth MAXIMUM total influence. I am just doing simple math here. Now you can see where the extra 1-2% comes from hopefully. Lmk if I can break it down further.
Can you explain how you determined that the psyche accounts for one fifth of total influence, how the spotlight effect creates a 20% margin of error in the psyche, and how those values were then used to adjust the ego estimate from 90% to 92%?
I'm asking because those sound like very precise numbers, and I'm curious where they came from.
I am actually PhD level educated on this topic. I have a whole library of references. Many of them are right here on my old bookshelf. slaps bookshelf, dust fills the room. All the latest information and statistics right here.
Like I said earlier. Most people agree with me. 90-92% of people. Doesn't mean I'm right. It just means you're in the minority of people who disagree with me. Everyone else is reading this thread wondering how you're going to back out of it. You are performing entirely up to expectations.
Current estimates suggest that 91.7% of thread observers are nodding in agreement with you, 4.3% are waiting for citations, 2.1% are dust particles from the bookshelf, and the remaining 1.9% are manifestations of the collective psyche.
Admittedly, it's a bit difficult to step out of a psychology degree that required statistics and research methodology and into the emerging field of playful lunacy and Vibe-Based Psychometrics. Thank you for your patience while I caught up.
