What's In A Name? Initials Linked To Success, Study Shows

I think that this may be further supportive evidence of the mimetic drive in humans affecting behaviours and achievements subconsciously. ". The result of the test confirmed that when people’s initials match negative performance outcomes, performance suffers. These results, appearing in the December issue of Psychological Science, provide striking evidence that unconscious wants can insidiously undermine conscious pursuits."
The other thing I'm wondering is whether this also may indicate a degree of corporate identity and feedback. After all these are totally humanly constructed environments in which these effects are taking place and depend, therefore, on our consensuses about alphabets and how they are used additionally in our signalling of social and related status. We already know that self-esteem relates to health outcomes ... (just plumb 'self esteem' into this blog's search bar).
