We are more likely to do all these things with the person whose
name has their letter immediately next to theirs in the alphabet.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John....all within FOUR letters of each
other J,K,L,M. Interesting that other authors in the New Testament
were James, Jude, Paul and....the exception to the rule was
Timothy....and there are plenty of exceptions.
But the rule holds.
When I was a senior in high school my locker was next to
Higginbotham....and we became good friends... When I first
got into the field Hypnosis ...H,H,H, H....my closest colleagues
were Horton, Hunter and Hastings...and Holly Sumner.

I could be wrong but I believe that Barry Bonds
got more walks "BB" than any player in history, if not, then
he certainly did on a per plate appearance basis....Hank
Aaron held the home run (HR) record for almost three decades....
[and I can hear you say, "yes but Kevin he took that record
from 'Babe' Ruth!" .........at which point I have to make sure
you remember that his name wasn't "Babe," it was
George Herman Ruth.....]
20 years ago, scientists would have attributed this to "selection
bias" or randomness. Today we know that initials are more
impacting than anyone ever would have imagined.
Wait there is MORE.
:-)
(I bet you thought I was going to pull out the Ginsu Knives....)
Nope, there's more important stuff.
Let's look at another carefully measured area of performance.
School evaluations and grading...
There's NO difference between the grades of people whose
initials are A, B and R, S in law school.
Now that is interesting because
C, D, E, F all do worse than they should!
BUT watch this....The A and B initials are found far LESS often
in the best law schools and in higher percentage in the mediocre
law schools!!!
Covert Influence is being experienced 24/7....it's changing
people's lives because of...something as simple as a person's
INITIALS.
....and WAIT there is EVEN MORE....
The influence goes beyond the actual letters.
It goes to the actual SOUNDS of the letters.
The "K" in Kevin and the "C" in cat have the same sound
in English and I'm likely to be drawn to people, places
and things with that "kuh" sound in addition to just the
"K!"
If you haven't already thought of a thousand creative uses for
these revelations, let's take a step back and think for a moment.
