Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

What on earth does this mean? I'm not a world-class expert in mathology but I've never seen this kind of relative comparison before.

None of the 152 people in the trial correctly guessed correctly on more than 5 profiles, out of the 12 profiles they were given.

Well I suppose what they're saying is no response had a success rate equal to or greater than fifty percent, but yeah it's not exactly reported academically.

Because astrology is something that lends itself to clear academic reporting?

I think they just left off the subject of each phrase; 0 out of 152 astrologists did better than 5 out of 12 questions. Though it is phrased weirdly either way.
