2) There's a general perception that people dressed professionally are better at whatever they do. It's why everyone's supposed to dress up when customers come to visit, or when we go to a customer site. I do not have this perception, possibly because having to wear suits to work for 15+ years pissed me off too much, or possibly because I know that many of the other people around me wearing suits weren't very good at what they did. I also know that the one time that i went to a MacWorld Expo in my business clothes, I got a lot more attention from people trying to sell me things than I did all of the other times when I went wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Silly of them--I have much more money to spend on toys when I don't have to buy suits.
3) This seems like a very silly study. Obviously waving your arms around while standing in place isn't going to be as good as something that actually gets your heart rate up.
