You should also know that libraries spend most of their budget not on actual physical books, maintenance, or staff but on subscription fees to the digital library platforms they have. I learned this about my university library and I suspect it's probably the same elsewhere, especially libraries on college campuses.

It's ok I just don't like how they handle images. When I click on an image it redirects to open in a browser (on mobile) or new tab (on desktop). Dbzer0 doesn't do this. I suspect they handle images more like lemm.ee did.

Did they mean 0.7% cause 07% is higher than 5.7%

Is this article even worth my time? Is this research worth anything?

Edit: I have read it and disagree with how the experiment was conducted. If participants are supposed to guess personality based on the image of the tattoo, maybe the tattooed person isn't giving an accurate description of themselves. Participants should also rate the personality of someone and not just let the tattooed person rate themselves.

Overall, people were fairly consistent in how they judged tattoos. Raters tended to agree with one another about what certain tattoo features might suggest about personality. For instance, cheerful and colorful tattoos were linked to impressions of higher agreeableness. Large, traditional-looking tattoos were associated with higher extraversion. Tattoos that appeared low in quality or included death imagery led raters to perceive the wearer as more neurotic or less agreeable.

However, these judgments were largely inaccurate. When the researchers compared how participants were rated with how they described themselves, most of the links between tattoo features and personality fell apart. Except for one pattern: people who had tattoos described by raters as “wacky” were somewhat more likely to score higher on openness to experience in their self-assessments.

What does PR stand for in this instance?
