Today we ask ourselves the question: what makes us who we are and who is more real, actor Ian Smith or fictional character Harold Bishop?
In terms of pyschology, there are 3 factors to be considered when determining personality.
(1) do you have 2, 4 or 8 legs?
(b) do you play the banjo or does the banjo play you?
(iii) do you respond well to stimuli ( e.g Sha the rapper from Brooklyn)?
In a clever test of vraisemblance, Harold Bishop scored 99%, whereas the actor who plays him, Ian Smith, scored a measly 14%. It seems that Harold is considerably more real than Ian, although not necessarily more realistic. In the test we asked both participants to bake a cake, complete an assault course dressed as Napoleon Bonaparte, and deliver some mail in a manner evoking an air of magic realism. The results go to show that both Harold and Ian are crap at baking, but at least Harold has a clearly defined set of characteristics. Shame on you, Ian.
