Divination Club: Zener Card training- RESULTS!

[anbyrobanby.livejournal.com]

Activity: Zener Card Training
Points: 1st/2nd/3rd/Participation Only: 50/40/30/10 points.

Apologies it took so long to get these up- I've had a hella crazy couple of weeks. Anyway!

I was very proud about the amount of participation this game received! Shall we see who was the most psychic club member, hmm?

First place: veilingofthesun of Ravenclaw with a whopping 32% success rate!
Second place: eowyn_rain of Gryffindor and mewithe of Hufflepuff tied with an outstanding 29% rate! These were all above chance level!
Third place: caitriona_3, eggsnail and starianprincess, all of Gryffindor, tied with a majestic 28% success rate!

Congratulations, all of you! Curiously, a bit of trivia: the most significant deviation away from the expected norm was actually a low percentage (below 10%)! I won't name the individual just in case (unless they give permission). I was very impressed at the odds-defying score! In a way, you actually did better than the winners!

Regardless. Here's another bit of fun trivia. Gryffindor is the most psychic house! And Slytherin is the next psychic, followed very closely by Ravenclaw. Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders. I then was in full geek mode and made a box-and-whisker plot showing how the houses got on, and then ran some unrelated-samples t-tests: loins reported significantly higher scores here than badgers and eagles, but there was no significant differences between loins and snakes (nor were any significant difference among snakes, eagles and badgers). Obviously, no house performed better than chance. Bad luck.

Sorry, I'll take the geek glasses off now and give you the points breakdown:
