Harvard University Stress Test
The picture you are about to see has 2 identical dolphins in
it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at Harvard.
Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The
dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study
revealed that, even though the dolphins are identical, a
person under stress would find differences in the two
dolphins.
The more differences a person finds between the dolphins,
the more stress that person is experiencing. Look at the
photograph and if you find more than one or two differences
you should tell your teacher that you need a vacation from
school.
