do you notice the question first or the avatar?

Question

Or is there a different attention mechanism at work in you?

In my case, It's kind of half and half. I notice very striking avatars first. I tend to subconsciously ignore most Y! supplied avatars and I notice womens photos the most. I don't think we need Dr. Freud to analyse that complex thought process, do we?!

My psychological method is visual rather than numeric or verbal so I do tend to be grabbed by pictures.

Answer 1

I tend to get grabbed by the question but if there's a cutie on the avatar then i may put extra effort in an answer lol

Answer 2

Question first.... half the time I have to really study avatar to figure out what it is....there was one of a mans "unit"... and granted it may have been a little on the small side, but I swear I could not tell what it was.. until jokes were being made about it! I was over there squinting away....

Answer 3

Well, in your case, I noticed the avatar. But usually, I read the question first and then look at the avatar. You?

Answer 4

I noticed your avatar first before I read your question. I notice the avatars that are not the generic yahoo avatars.

Answer 5

If its a unique avatar the avatar of course. But if it's still a dull question I move on.

Method two, blind choice.

Answer 6

I usually notice the avatars first. First impressions mean something.
