  1. I was pretty much aware of this already. I didn't have the name of the phenomena or the specifics but I had a fair idea of how they worked. I usually refer to it as "The Fortune Cookie Effect."

  5. The video teaches me that horoscopes are unrealistic and your personality cannot be determined by your birth date. I never really believed them to begin with so I am not very shocked.

  6. This video teaches you that horoscopes are really just scams that applies to mostly everyone because they use general statements that covers a broad spectrum of everyone's personality.

  7. This video taught me that horoscopes aren't true, and they fool people into believing that something is being specifically related to them, when really it's just a general statement that relates to everyone.

  8. This video teaches me that we have a tendency to believe things like this, even though it's easy to apply them to yourself. They might seem like unique descriptions for your personality, but can be very relatable to many different people.

  11. This video taught me to not believe everything that I hear. That I know myself better than anyone else. It taught me that people are able to relate to horoscopes because they are very vague descriptions.

  13. This video taught me to not be so gullible. Some horoscopes can be really accurate but overall i know what kind of person i am, and the way horoscopes describe me can sound is not all true.
