We say a lot of things about ourselves as if somebody measured them.
“I’m not confident.” “I need eight hours of sleep.” “I’m terrible with people.” “My attention span is getting worse.” “I’m too old to change that now.”
Nobody measured any of it. We said these often enough that they started to sound like facts.
Experiments is where HPP puts claims like these against real life and publishes what happens.
How a test works
Before anything starts we write down four things: the claim, how long it runs, what we will measure and what result would make us admit we were wrong. Then we run it and post the numbers as they come in.
Some results will surprise us, some will show nothing and a badly designed test gets called out as one and run again. We don’t want this page to turn into a collection of experiments that made project look right. If we get something wrong, you’ll see it and nothing gets deleted.
