Do you push or pull?
As I was leaving the international clients area of Den Danske Bank, I faced a pair of ambiguous door handles and had to decide whether it would be right to push or pull the door. This time, I pulled the door towards me, but noticed that it would probably have worked either way. And so I thought to myself, it would be really interesting to see a psychological profile on people who choose to push or pull these doors.
When I got home, I faced very similar door handles in the building where we now live, and immediately went on to push the door open. So now I’m confused and think there is no real pattern. Or did my subconscious deliberately decide to confuse my conscious self by changing just because I had thought about it? Does my subconscious perhaps hate my conscious self? That would explain a lot of things…
