The initials of the person can have some influence on his or her successes in studies and sports. Such are the results of the research conducted in the USA.

Scientists, in particular, have established that baseball players, whose name or a surname begin with the letter K (meaning out in baseball), are in out often than the other players.

It appeared also, that students and schoolboys with C or D as the first letter of a name or a surname show worse results than their schoolmates or fellow students with other initials.

Scientists say that cannot precisely explain this phenomenon, but consider that the reason is in “unconscious reaction” of the person for the name.

Authors of the research also mark that consider the work more likely as cognitive and call not to perceive their conclusions as an absolute true.
