Florida, United States Louise Smith GRUMBLEPOT Influencer
Unsure how I got this ignominious Influencer title
But it must mean I have something in common with Brian McKenzie
The very nature humour makes it difficult or almost impossible to present
a single definition.
People have so many different ideas of what they think humour is.
Psychologists came up with 4 styles 1. Affilative to create a sense of fellowship,happiness and well-being 2. Agressive to threaten, bully or psychologically harm 3. Self enhancing making yourself the target in a good-natured way for healthy coping withstress 4. Self defeating an unhealthy form of p utting yourself down in an aggressive or "poor me" fashion
Popular humour includes witty, dry, slapstick, bodily (toilet & fart jokes), dark, surreal & improvisational. BUT wait there's more ...
The Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ)

- a self-report measure that assesses the 4 different humour styles

You might like to give it a burl.

Results of willing participants at the end of this buzz. HUMOUR IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS GUESS WHAT ? It starts in the brain !
This maybe a revelation for some of us who think it starts at the other end of our anatomy. HUMOUR & ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS Apparently intentional humor evolved as indicator ofintelligence.
WOW that's no surprise !
Humor is also rated as important in mate selection. Maybe people are selecting for genetic fitness.
General intelligence predicted higher humor even after controlling for personality factors.
The smarter you are the funnier you are regardless of whether you are an intorvert or an extravert. How many times have you heard people say "He / She makes me laugh. "
or read in the Personals ......

WHICH IS WITCH ? PROFILE 1 GSOH = Good Sense of Humour SWF, 34, 5'8", 140, ISO SWM, 45-55, GSOH for LTR. Fav: Drinking Pina Colada & getting caught in the rain What ice cream flavour best describes your personality?
If you had one day left to live, what would you do?Do you sing in the shower?If money didn't matter, what would you do with your time?What's one household chore you don't know how to do? Do you believe in soul mates? PROFILE 2 SOH = Sense of Humour SWM, 36, 6'2", 180, ISO SWF, 30-35, SOH for F poss D. Fav: The feel of the ocean & the taste of champagne

What is one word that describes your life?What's one thing no one knows about you?What song makes you dance when no one's around?What's the earliest memory you have? Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you think we've met before in a previous life
"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."

Brian McKenziethe home of selfdeficating humor - hold the sparkles
GRUMBLEPOT came about as a direct response to the over shiny and 'Happy' bs
that is ginned out in Motivation memes and Inspirational quotes.
An antidote to Humble Brag
The Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) RESULTS
Brian McKenzie Good on you for giving it a burl ! Apparently, I have a mostly aggressive sense of humor with large doses of sarcasm.
Gee, I never would have guessed - glad I have a participation ribbon of approval from the HSQ.
Louise Smith Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles
but mine leans most heavily toward affiliative meaning
I'm good at cracking jokes and trading banter to build connections with other people.

You have a mostly self-enhancing sense of humor meaning you know how to laugh at yourself
(in a way that makes you feel better, not worse) and find the humor in any situation.

You're right, Louise Smith... Maybe I just need to let go and relax and let myself laugh when some good humor comes my way. :-)

Having the gift of humour to laugh or smile at yourself and to do so for others is priceless ! Maybe you will laugh if it's funny enough or you are relaxed. Laughter is very good medicine Smiling is good too to build trust and rapport You will never be a grinch with that gift !

Thank you for tagging me on the post, Louise Smith. I guess it is partially true. I answered the questions truthfully, and without bias. So maybe it is bringing out a side of me that even I didn't know existed. I do make people laugh with some comments, from time-to-time. But truthfully, even though I smile a lot, I am not really a person who laughs their heart out. I do manage to find humor in every situation though. This test tells me I have a shot at being humorous so I will try, maybe. Thanks again for writing it...I thought I was some kind of a grinch, otherwise. Lol!

Great buzz, Louise Smith! Enjoyed reading it. Took the test, btw, I got this "You have a mostly self-enhancing sense of humor. Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles, but yours leans most heavily toward self-enhancing, meaning you know how to laugh at yourself (in a way that makes you feel better, not worse) and find the humor in any situation."

You can guess the results of this study "Individual differences in uses of humor and their relation to psychological well-being: Development of the Humor Styles Questionnaire," Journal of Research in Personality 2003 Read the Abstract here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/223437499_Individual_differences_in_uses_of_humor_and_their_relation_to_psychological_well-being_Development_of_the_Humor_Styles_Questionnaire

I did the Development of the Humor Styles Questionnaire https://www.thecut.com/article/whats-your-humor-style.html I have a mostly affiliative sense of humor. Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles but mine leans most heavily toward affiliative, meaning I'm good at cracking jokes and trading banter to build connections with other people. I agree with this result. Give it a try !
