1. Starfish position - Are good listeners who makes friends easily.
2. Prefer not to be the center of attention.
3. Offer help when needed.
4. Are confident and optimistic.
5. Are not particularly keen on planning or scheming.

1. No.
2. Often I do. Sometimes I don't.
3. Mostly.
4. Sure.
5. I am. Following through is the problem.

Very questionable results. Can you post the sources or studies, @Eluded_One?

I still don't think my sleeping position is my personality

Best post in the thread.

Seriously, if you look at those descriptions, it is a lot like a horiscope. Try and pick the description that fits you most instead of the position.

yup, I was like well i could be filmed sleeping in any of these posititions and i could find enough instances that I came across like any of those descriptions to think that was me.

C and A but occasionally B and E or maybe all 4 every night. I don't know, I'm sleeping.

There's research being done on the body positioning during sleeping and it's correlation on how it resonates our personality.

Correlation does not imply causation.

Here are some other correlations:

In general, 69 percent of people say the person they are in love with is in love with them. But among those who subscribe to one or more magazines, 86 percent say the person they are in love with is in love with them.

In general, 58 percent of people have discharged a firearm. But among those who find women with pencil-thin eyebrows to be suspicious, 72 percent have discharged a firearm.

In general, 29 percent of people like Robin Williams better in his serious roles than his funny roles. But among those who don't enjoy popping bubble wrap, 50 percent like Robin Williams better in his serious roles.

In general, 68 percent of people would rather compete on "Jeopardy" than "Wheel of Fortune." But among those who like mobster movies, 83 percent would rather compete on "Jeopardy" than "Wheel of Fortune."

They're terrible scientists if they're chasing after a correlation that has no causation to give it relevance. A correlation is literally just an examination of the way two random variables are connected. You can show a correlation between the speeds that different flavors of ice cream melt and what cycle of the moon it is, because "showing a correlation" is literally just examining those two things and coming up with how they're statistically related. That statistical relation can be completely unrealistic, because the realism of the correlation -- the causation of the correlation -- isn't a factor in the correlation itself.

So basically, these guys are getting paid to literally waste their time doing pointless science.

I sleep curled in a fetal position on my left side, I doubt it correlates to personality.

[INTP]

I can only sleep on my back D and F, mostly F. C(on my left side) helps me to get in the mood of sleeping, but i need to turn on my back in order to actually fall asleep. Also sometimes i might lay on my right side in something like A, but cant do it for long and its more like before i do C, like preparing for the preparing position

I dont think any of the types fit better for me any better than another one, what would fit me the best is if i could pick one attribute from each..

I think I do the Yearner, but since I can't see myself sleep it could be a fetal. Either way, I don't think it correlates very well to my personality.
