Abstract

How does your sense of humor compare to other's sense of humor? one day I sat down wondering the same thing and thus my science fair project was born, my project is meant to determine what the 9th-12th grader's sense of humor is like. to do this I devised an incredibly complex plan where I would just simply ask them. I researched and found 9 segments of comedy and decided to use the 5 most relevant ones I then formatted a quiz and received about 40 responses. my results clearly showed that surreal humor was held in the highest regard, and that dark humor was the most split. political humor was the most linear, and word-play humor had close results to physical humor. alterations I could do in the future are changing the wording of questions, adding more questions/answers for questions, and getting more types of participants.
