A Little Skeptical
Looks like you've got better things to worry about than that open umbrella or that mirror you cracked a few years ago! You may entertain some superstitions, or even practice them habitually "just-in-case." But, you don't let them get the best of you! Your answers reveal that you don't believe a cute little cat or a four-leaf clover can change your fate. Good for you! Superstitions, when used in moderation, can be a lighthearted way to play with the concept of luck. But, when you start carrying around a piece of wood for emergency knocking, an alarm should definitely sound! Superstitions are irrational beliefs that are created to make sense of coincidences or the unknown. When someone is confused or lacks knowledge on a subject, she may turn to superstition for guidance and luck.
Research claims that females tend to be more superstitious than males, and the topics they are concerned with differ as well. Women's superstitions generally relate to issues of relationships and home life, while men tend to be more concerned with business and sports. However, even the merest coincidence can set people off onto a new superstition. So, continue to step on those cracks in the sidewalk and walk under those ladders. Spend your energy on those things over which you DO have control.
