The Magnus Institute data crunching
Thanks @bonzos-number-1-fan for the spreadsheet!
So I went through the spreadsheet of all the kids who were tested by the institute and removed every kid who failed the Sally-Anne test and reasoned at a stage 2 level on the Piaget theory. The remainders I will refer to as the "advanced children."
Of the results, only Sam tested as highly obedient based on the Milgram experiment (which they ran on children, apparently!). He was also the only one who tested highly susceptible to peer pressure on the Asch Conformity experiment.
Milgram asks will you do something bad because an authority figure told you to. Asch asks if you will doubt your perception of reality if the people around you indicate that you're wrong.
Gerry had the highest EQ the people who were low on obedience and susceptibility to peer pressure. Connor Dyer (who maybe the person we now know as Alice) also ranked low on both.
I am also really interested in the ultimatum test results. It asks, among other things, when you have the power, do you choose to be fair. All three names we somewhat recognize chose to be fair. They also all rated high in pro-social behavior.
Of the advanced children, only 3 made unfair splits, Matthew Turner, Peter Murphy, and Logan Kemp. Of the advanced children only 4 rated moderate on prosocial behavior (there were no remaining lows after the kids who failed the Sally-Anne test were removed). The four were Elsie Fuller, Holly Jennings, Jaxon Griffiths, and Peter Murphy.
I also think it's notable that when you filtered the data but didn't change the order of names, our kiddos who tested like cooperate psychopaths were near the top, as well as Sam and Gerry.
IDK, what the institute was selecting for, but I have a feeling that Peter Murphy is going to be important
