I found an interesting article from a while back. I guess people who work in the IT industry are twice as likely to wear a heavy metal t-shirt as their non-IT counterparts.

If I was to be given the survey, i would have answered yes to it. I wear heavy metal/hardcore shirts EVERY DAY to work, I just wear them under a button up shirt. I’m undercover I guess.

The study also showed that black jeans are 63% more popular among IT types than other workers (yes i wear black jeans some times), and IT people are 34% more likely to sport a ponytail (I cut mine off a few months ago!)

I wonder what the statistics on tattoos and piercings are?

Either way, a mildly interesting read that I thought was funny
