Little fortune teller _ little fortune teller

Psychologists believe that the reason why fortune tellers can be so accurate is actually to use people's psychology of "self-verification" and lead people into their own "traps".

Fortune tellers are often good at observing people's psychology and know how to use it to achieve their goals. Fortune tellers often ask fortune tellers ambiguous questions, because ambiguous questions often make people speculate and imagine in their own direction.

For example, sometimes fortune tellers will ask, "Is there a big tree in front of your house?" If there is, you will think that he really knows how to pinch and calculate; If not, he will solemnly say, "Oh, nothing is the best." He seems to wish there were no trees. And so on. You don't need a fortune teller to say anything, you have a lot to do with yourself.

Everyone has a "self-verification" mentality. When they are given a hint, a series of contents related to the hint will immediately emerge in their minds. Therefore, when you hear the fortune teller say that you are "predestined friends with water", you can't help but find out all your experiences or things related to water to prove that you are really related to water, and even think of what happened to your leg cramp when you were swimming. Therefore, you will feel: amazing! How did he know that there was water in my life?

Fortune-tellers use people's psychology to provide some vague information for people to verify themselves, thus concretizing the fuzziness of information and making fortune-tellers feel that they are really scheming and can gain insight into secrets. In fact, all this is "calculated" by the fortune teller himself.
