Found this online study that gives you two writing prompts — one private, one where you know it'll be evaluated — and then analyzes the differences in real time. At the end it tells you whether you're a "Compressor" (you write less but better when watched), an "Expander" (you actually write more under observation), or a "Suppressor" (both volume and quality drop). The researchers behind it are studying something called Expression-Gated Consciousness — basically trying to quantify the filter between what you think and what you actually say. Their early data shows most people compress: 79% wrote fewer words under observation, but the quality didn't drop. Takes about 15 minutes. Kind of a cool self-discovery tool even if you don't care about the science. https://theartofsound.github.io/egcstudy/   submitted by   /u/OGMYT [link]   [comments]
