What is the coolest psychological trick?


  1. The most powerful way to win an argument is by asking questions.
  2. If you want people to take your words seriously, say that your father taught you this. People are inclined to believe parents' advice.
  3. If you forget someone's name during a social gathering, introduce them to someone you know. They will automatically say their name.
  4. People usually remember the first and last things that took place, and hardly the middle. When scheduling a job interview, ask at what times the employer interviews and try to be the first or the last.
  5. If you think someone is giving you the wrong number , read it out incorrectly. If they correct you, it is legitimate.
  6. If you want a noisy room to quiet down almost immediately , simply open your mouth as if you are speaking while gesturing at the same time. People will immediately fall silent and try to understand exactly what you are saying or doing.
  7. If you want your friend to carry something , just keep talking to him while you hand him the bag. Most people take the bag automatically without thinking.
  8. If you really want something from someone, frame it as an offer rather than a request.
  9. If you want people to like you , create situations where physical touch is natural. Your physical touch is subtle, such as a brief touch on her arm or back, but not too much.
