Quick. Draw a ‘Q’ on your forehead. Did you draw it facing you or away?
According to Marginal Revolution, this is a good test of how sensitive you are to how others see you. If you draw the ‘Q’ away from you (so that others can read it), you’re more concerned than if you draw it facing you. Alex Tabarrok goes on to say that this also implies whether you are a good liar or not, but I’m not sure about that; it seems a little simplistic.

I’m self-centered, I drew it facing me.

I drew it facing away from me… I guess I’m self-conscious.

i read the explanation first and then did it while thinking to myself that i should draw it facing away from me, but i did it facing me anyways. i guess i’m just dumb.
