Good to see scientists working on something important. Like figuring out the main qualities that MAKE YOU COOL. That's way more important than curing cancer, right?
--Two psychologists in New York just finished a major study to determine the qualities that go into being cool. Here are the top 11, in order.
#1.) Friendly.
#2.) Personal competence . . . like being smart or talented.
#3.) Trendy.
#4.) Desirable . . . both as a friend and to other people sexually.
#5.) Attractive.
#6.) Unconventional . . . being unique or an individualist.
#7.) Prosocial values . . . like being caring or honest.
#8.) Humorous.
#9.) Confident.
#10.) Emotionally controlled . . . like being aloof or calm.
#11.) Hedonistic . . . being fun or a partier.
--A few qualities that didn't make the list are being ironic, rough, thrill-seeking, or driven for success.
