Had to share this  . taken from extraordinary claims and beliefs in my phsychology module:
"On the other hand, fantasy proneness was consistently correlated with belief in psychics, as was a heightened tendency to perceive connections between things that are in fact unconnected (e.g. to find meaningful links between randomly paired stimuli, such as unrelated line drawings) and measures of visual pareidolia (e.g. ‘finding’ pictures in random dots). It therefore appears that people who have a high level of belief in the extraordinary claims of psychics are also likely to have a higher than average tendency to perceive meaning where there is none (apophenia and pareidolia)."
Kind of true in my case.
fantasy proneness: I like to believe in UFO and alien related theories
apophenia: I trade.. say no more.
pareidolia: I conjure abstract patterns where none exist. Like @ninjus funny avatar states "I see expanding wedges"
Just the paranormal stuff (psychics, ghosts, horroscopes,etc) that I dont have any interest in.
