1. Being tested on things help you remember them better.

Some psychology facts for the kids: testing is an efficient tool for learning. A study discovered that information could last longer in the memory of a person tested for it than when only studied without the need to remember immediately.

2. You obsess over things which you feel you lack.

Take money for example. The human brain is scarcity-sensitive; it constantly feels that you are missing things that you need.

3. You are in a constant search for human faces in inanimate objects.

This sensation is called ‘pareidolia’ which scientists think came from the notion that face recognition is an important part of social life. It entails how your brain tends to find a face where there is none rather than missing a real one.

4. You always find a problem.

It is psychologically normal for you to find another problem upon resolving one. One research demonstrated that volunteers who are asked to select computer-generated faces that look threatening eventually resorted to faces that do not.

It turns out that as the volunteers ran out of threatening-looking faces, they started turning to faces that they would usually call harmless.

5. People would rather alter facts than change their opinions about people.

As much as ‘cognitive dissonance’ normal, you hate it when reality contradicts your beliefs. It explains why you undermine a loved one’s wrongdoings despite how bad it is.

6. High expectations incline people to rise to it while low ones have no such effects.

The Pygmalion effect holds the explanation as to why you do better when other people believe you would. On the contrary, you could not do well when someone expects you to fail.

7. Crying has benefits.

Doing so could make you feel a lot better, reduce stress, and could even help in keeping your body healthy.

8. It is possible to feel certain about something without facts or reasoning.

Undergoing electric simulation over that specific part of your brain could trigger a feeling of certainty despite the absence of evidence or logic.

9. Some people are afraid of feeling too much happiness.

It is due to the fear of the pattern that something tragic might happen next.
