For our science
fair project this year, we chose the problem, “Does your hair colour
affect your thinking skills?” We both predicted that although
blondes and brunettes are often stereotyped, their hair colour would
not affect their thinking skills. We also don’t believe that being
either a male or female would affect a person’s thinking skills.
We also believe that adults will have better ‘out of the box’
thinking skills than youth. We decided to go into Regina to get our
results because we believe they would be more accurate if the
participants didn’t know what our project was about. We went
into Regina and asked twenty blondes, twenty brunettes, ten
children, ten adults, ten females and ten males to sign our consent
form and fill out our test. We had a variety of ages and sexes to
fill out our test because we believe it would give us more accurate
results in our broad comparison. We found that there was no
difference between blonde’s and brunette’s thinking skills. We
also discovered that adults thinking skills are stronger than the
youths thinking skills. We believed this was because adult’s
had more experience than children with these type of quizzes and
knew that they needed to think ‘out of the box’ to correctly answer
the questions. As well we found that female’s thinking skills
were stronger than male’s. We believe this was true because
female’s took their time on the quiz more than the males did.
Therefore, our conclusion was that hair colour does not affect your
thinking skills.
