The drunk tail

by

In the previous post I talked about how we scraped about one hundred photos from social networking sites and had Turkers guess those people’s traits – including age, race, intelligence, political affiliation, and intoxication.

Intoxication was listed as a checkbox. Averaging the guesses for each photo gives us an intoxication rating from 0 (sober) to 1 (smashed). In the histogram, you’ll notice the familiar power law distribution of drunkenness:

Finally, a cautionary graph. We found a clear correlation between perceived intoxication and perceived intelligence:

Intelligence scale: 0 = “doofus”, 1 = “dull”, 2 = “average”, 3 = “bright”, 4 = “genius”

  2. lol several of the opinions most people make make me laugh, occasionally i question if they honestly read the content and threads before posting or whether or not they just simply skim the title of the article and jot down the first thing that pops into their brain. in either case, it is enjoyable to look over keen commentary now and then instead of the identical, classic blog vomit that i more often than not observe on the net so long


  3. lol a couple of of the comments readers make are kinda silly, every so often i ponder whether they in truth read the information and reports before leaving your 2 cents or if perhaps they simply just look at the subject of the post and publish the first thing that pops into their heads. anyhow, it really is good to look over clever commentary now and then rather than the very same, old post vomit that i quite often see on the net have a pleasant day
