Report:A sense of humor is a strong male quality, a sign of good intellect

A sense of humor is a strong male quality, a sign of good intellect

U.S. scientist Igor Krishtafovich discovered a formula of laughter. He came to Moscow to spread the formula among his former compatriots. As it turned out, humor is a weapon.

"A sense of humor is a strong male quality. It is a sign of good intellect. Evolution stakes precisely on the intellect since a smart fellow has more chances of survival. That is why a sense of humor can be a much bigger sign of masculinity than the pumped-up muscles. Needless to say, I'm talking about the subconscious level of perception."

Formula of laughter

According to Mr. Krishtafovich's theory, humor has always been around. Even in prehistoric times when man was just a few steps away from monkey. This is a prehistoric reaction on the level of reflex. Humankind has refined humor over thousands of years of history. Humor became more exquisite and complex. These days it is hard to make people laugh yet you can succeed if you follow the formula by Igor Krishtafovich. Using the formula, you can even find out whether your joke was good or not.

"The formula is primarily for comedians, writers who write satirical pieces, and politicians. A good joke can effectively entice the voters. Sure thing, you should bear in mind the mood of an audience and complexity of a joke," says Mr. Krishtafovish

The formula is as following:

HE = PI x C/T + BM

PI - personal involvement

C - complexity of a joke. The higher degree of complexity the better provided that your audience can solve the problem within 1 or 2 seconds.

T - time spent by a person solving a joke. The longer the time, the weaker the effect.

BM - background mood. A joker can have an advantage if an audience enjoys the show. However, a real good joke can "blow up" the most dismal audience.

HE - humor effectiveness.
