The purpose of this study was to examine whether outcome feedback of pop psychological tests influences human behavior and to compare the strength of the influence with that of academic psychological tests. The authors conducted an experiment in which sixty-four female subjects took a pop or an academic psychological test. Subjects who took each test received a bogus feedback implying that they were extravergent or intravergent. The results showed that subjects who received the feedback of extravergence were more active in interacting with a stranger than those who received the feedback of intravergence, whether they had taken the pop or the academic test. This suggests that outcome feedback of pop tests, like that of academic tests, can influence human behavior and cause a self-fulfillment phenomenom. The results also showed that subjects who took the pop test felt better about themselves than those who took the academic test. A supplementary survey was also conducted to investigate the characteristics of sentences of each feedback.
