Do you agree with these Psychology Facts ?

[Telstra]

1/ The people who give the best advice are usually the ones with the most problems.

2/ The smarter the person is, the faster he thinks, and the sloppier his handwriting is.

3/ Women have twice as many pain receptors on their bodies than men, but they have a much higher pain tolerance.

4/ Doing things that scare you will make you happier.

5/ Intelligent people tend to have less friends than the average person. The smarter the person is, the more selective they become.

There is probably some truth to all of it...not sure if it is THE truth or what the breakdown/percentage would be.....and is it something they studied or mostly opinion? I would not consider these "facts"...maybe observations....

#1 seems the most obvious. I give alot of advice and most of the time I know because I lived it or saw it up close and personal. I would also rather have advice from the mechanic who has worked on alot of cars ...or the heart surgeon who has performed alot of surgeries....or led by a Commander in Chief that has a clue...

#2 I have no idea....but if sloppy handwriting indicates "smart"...I must be a genius

#3 would make sense due to pregnancy. I think nature might compensate by giving them a higher tolerance....

#4 I can see to a point because challenging your fears can liberate you...which I guess can make you happier because if you live your life in fear happiness can be elusive....

#5 I have a ton of aquaintances now but very few friends...but before AIDS...I had alot more actual friends. Does that make me more or less intelligent?... now or then? I don't think intelligence has anything to do with it...seems the most far fetched. The thing is..there are many ways to define intelligence...

Those aren't really facts. They are opinions and hypotheses.

The only opinion I agree with is #2. 1. People with fewer problem probably avoid them or solve them early, so are better advisors. 3. This one is a matter of fact but I don't know the answer. 4.nope. People who have more fears are unhappier than those who see less to fear. 5. Clearly some very intelligent people have lots of friends and some stupid ones have few. I think other factors are determinative.

I'm inclined to agree with #5, if I may submit facebook as exhibit A.

Intelligent people often seem to be much more selective when using the word/term 'friend'.

well,
Obviously i get it from somewhere.
Do you agree with these "opinions and hypotheses"

Where? Reference your source.

In general, no. One could turn around each one of your "facts" and it would make as much (or as little) sense. Stupid people have worse handwriting, doing scary things makes one scared rather than happy and so on.

!. No
2.No
3. I'm unawares of specific difference in number of pain receptors; they have fixed some of the pain tolerance in testing, however, for medication pain relief purposes so the same amount of pain meds that work on a male physique will work on a female's. Don't remember the article and can't remember the keywords I used to find it in the first place.
4.No
5.No.

Psychology isn't a science though. What it is has been a whole lot of speculation over stuff that they make from the data they've gathered, but every generation or so, the opinions change.

Yeah, but sometimes it's just a picture of one =P

For a correction,
"3. I'm unawares of the specific differences in number of pain receptors"*. And for the original statement of #3, you'd have to define pain receptors as well, what I think you mean might not be what you're referring to. Doesn't much matter tho, really.

Well, when Freud first 'invented' psychotherapy, a cigar was totally phallic. As he aged and his body didn't quite work as well as it did when he was younger, the cigar simply became a cigar... for the most part. Sometimes it was still phallic.

Freud was on a good track with the concept of psychoanalism until he took his own neuroses and ascribed 'em to everyone else. For a man with decent beginning ideas on how to work with people his stuff is incredibly bogged down by his own description of his history trailing right off to multiple exceedingly bad theories. Good social skills > examining such, was Freud. Then again, I've found people rarely have both, at least in my own excursions.

And do you agree with these statements below:

1/ Only optimists commit suicide,
optimists who no longer succeed at being optimists.

The others, having no reason to live, why would they have any to die?

 

[Telstra]

"We are more influence by our feelings than by reason" agree ?
