Random Poll of the Day! (679)

[Kor]

I hope the question is clear enough. 0 is lowest (as in not at all) and 10 is highest (as in perfect fit).

I found this site, though I'm not sure how correct that stuff is. If you know of a better site, feel free to share.

Well, I just looked at the strengths and weaknesses of cancer, and I'll be honest, it's sadly almost a perfect fit to what I'm like.
I'll give it 8 regarding the coincidental accuracy :V

[ProfParanoia]

All of those key words sound the same from sign to sign .

[pofa]

I agree.

That being said, they're also vague enough to where I can't necessarily deny that they apply to me (Gemini).

[Commi-Ninja]

Reading the first couple paragraphs of Leo, it fits some things well, and not as well with others.

[PhoenixTears]

I'm scoring it based only on the positive and negative attributes, which I think 6/10 fit me (Virgo). So, 6.

But yes, they're pretty vague and similar from sign to sign.

And just for statistics' sake, the signs as they apply to me:

Aquarius - 6/10
Pisces - 6/10
Aries - 7/10
Taurus - 5/10
Gemini - 8/10
Cancer - 7/10
Leo - 5/10
Virgo - 6/10
Libra - 1/9
Scorpio - 7/10
Sagittarius - 1/2
Capricorn - 5/10

What's with the lack of stuff for Sagittarius btw? That's kinda crazy.

[KangarooGirl]

You know what, for skeptics' sake, I'll do what PT did and put it all up there

Aquarius - 6/10
Pisces - 8/10
Aries - 4/10
Taurus - 7/10
Gemini - 4/10
Cancer - 8/10
Leo - 5/10
Virgo - 6/10
Libra - 6/9
Scorpio - 3/10
Sagittarius - 0/2
Capricorn - 5/10

So according to this thing I should be a Pisces or a Cancer :V But my real star sign is Capricorn. Well go figure XD Honestly though, it's vague enough that most things would fit. But honestly all that "leadership" and "achievement" descriptions I don't think fits me at all (even though I've supposedly got a double dose from being a dragon )

[Vylash]

10, I'm a Leo, and this is scary accurate

[Memesu]

5.  I´m a cancer, btw.

[Kleene Onigiri]

How to attract Cancer:
Smoke
Alcohol
Burning yourself in the sun..

Wait, wrong cancer :V

[Hime-Chan]

6/10, I'm a capricorn. I clicked on taurus just to see what they said, and lots of it are accurate, like others said, it's too vague so you can fit in about everything!

[redangelran]

5. I'm a Virgo. And I'm not that Intellectual and cold.

[Aokochan]

5. I'm a scorpio, and there's a lot of things that aren't true.

[Kirbypepe]

SOoooooooo I think i'm like a 8 or maybe a 7 for my sign Cancer. Although Hayley thinks I'm more like a 9 or 10 for it....... =P I guess its really up to what everyone else thinks.

[mangaluva]

2. That profile is ridiculously unlike me. Out of the strengths and weaknesses at the top, only 3 out of 10 matched me, and the profile continued to be nothing like me XP

[Jd-]

I've gone through and evaluated them as honestly as possible, just like if I were looking at the horoscopes myself:

Aquarius — 5/5 on Strength, 1/5 on Weakness (Rebellious is a strength as far as I'm concerned)
Pisces — 5/5 on Strength, 0/5 on Weakness
Aries — 5/5 on Strength, 0/5 on Weakness
Taurus — 5/5 on Strength, 0/5 on Weakness
Gemini — 5/5 on Strength, 0/5 on Weakness
Cancer — 5/5 on Strength, 0/5 on Weakness
Leo — 5/5 on Strength, 1/5 on Weakness (I am domineering)
Virgo — 5/5 on Strength, 1/5 on Weakness (Skeptical would be a weakness for horoscopes, that's right)
Libra — 5/5 on Strength, 0/4 on Weakness
Scorpio — 5/5 on Strength, 0/5 on Weakness
Sagittarius — 1/1 on Strength, 0/1 on Weakness
Capricorn — 5/5 on Strength, 1/5 on Weakness (I am dictatorial)

A fun trick to play on a friend that believes in astrology: Take a report on both your sign and their sign, mislabel them intentionally, and give them the one labeled as their sign and let them pour over it as they gasp in awe at how well it fits them, and then have them examine yours and let them gasp in awe one more time at how well it fits you, and then reveal the trick. It's one way to plant a seed of doubt in their mind that it may not be all that it seems.

Oh, and if you're interested in why astrology "works" in that everything seems to fit everyone when looked at objectively, it's the Forer effect at work (also known as the Barnum effect, named after P.T. Barnum, the circusmaster and conman that said his circuses had "something for everyone"). This effect is commonly used in other types of scams and manipulations, including psychic readings.
