I had no idea the percentage was that high. I would have guessed about 15% refused.
I know as close to a fact as possible that I would be one of the refusers. When I was in high school, I went to a summer college program and took a psychology class. The professor opened the first day with a demonstration. He didn't give an introduction or anything, just walked in and started telling the students to do progressively weirder and weirder things. It started with please move to that other seat, then progressed to throwing a ball around, jumping up and down, dancing in front of the class, stuff like that. I was the only person in the entire class to refuse to do something he told me to. He just said ok, I sat back down, and he continued telling the other students to do things for another 5 minutes or so. I've always been really proud of that moment.
