This is the same reason people tend to pick 3 and 7 when asked for a number between 0-10. (1,2 and 9, 10 are too 'extreme'; 4, 5 and 6 are too middle. 3 and 7, nobody would think to pick those!) In fact most people's favorite numbers are 3 and 7. We seek randomness and by that path avoid it.DHeadshot wrote:It's actually a rather interesting experiment this - when given a poll where all the options are the same, it seems people will usually pick the middle option! Either that or they'll manifest their immaturities by subconcious communication and organising themselves to choose in a way to result in the above shape...
