Adam Wayment: Religious?
Hello again, my friends! Quick story of Burley interest: So I got an email the other day from my sister Callie, a research assistant in the Psychology department here at BYU. It contained a link to what appears to be a psychology project being conducted by some psych students on people's perceptions of religiosity based on photographs. I was intrigued, so I pulled up the page. Turns out it's a survey in which they pop up about 80 pictures of individuals in succession, and I'm supposed to rank each picture on a 1-to-6 type spectrum
from "Not Religious" to "Extremely Religous". I figured, "Why not?" and started rating pictures, more than once feeling a little harsh in my superficial judgments. Soon, however, I started to see faces that looked vaguely familiar, like I'd seen them before somewhere.
Suddenly, an unmistakeable visage appeared on the screen: our very own Adam Taylor Wayment, as portrayed on the left. I also realized that I recognized some of the others from my earlier years at BYU. Some had even been in my previous wards. Putting two and two together, I figure that these psych students probably pulled a bunch of old mug shots from the student I.D. center archives for their study. The ethics seem a little sketchy to me, but hopefully they at least have all the requisite signatures and permissions to raid the university's databases like that.
Anyway, after finishing the survey, I breathed a sigh of relief when my picture hadn't popped up among the ones that were profaned by this less-than-flattering survey. But the question in my mind remains: How would YOU rate that mug? I mean, seriously?!

P.S. Try out the survey. I'm interested to know what you folks think of it.
P.P.S. Either picture is a great desktop backgroud if tiled. A nice addition to your Burley Shrine. I know you have one.
P.P.P.S. I gave the boy a 5 (Highly Religious). I might be biased though....
