HUMOUR IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS
GUESS WHAT ?
It starts in the brain ! This maybe a revelation for some of us who think it starts at the other end of our anatomy.
HUMOUR & ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS
Apparently intentional humor evolved as indicator of intelligence. WOW that's no surprise !
Humor is also rated as important in mate selection. Maybe people are selecting for genetic fitness. General intelligence predicted higher humor even after controlling for personality factors. The smarter you are the funnier you are regardless of whether you are an intorvert or an extravert.

Brian McKenzie the home of selfdeficating humor - hold the sparkles GRUMBLEPOT came about as a direct response to the over shiny and 'Happy' bs that is ginned out in Motivation memes and Inspirational quotes. An antidote to Humble Brag
Brian McKenzie Good on you for giving it a burl ! Apparently, I have a mostly aggressive sense of humor with large doses of sarcasm. Gee, I never would have guessed - glad I have a participation ribbon of approval from the HSQ.
Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles but mine leans most heavily toward affiliative meaning I'm good at cracking jokes and trading banter to build connections with other people.
You have a mostly self-enhancing sense of humor meaning you know how to laugh at yourself (in a way that makes you feel better, not worse) and find the humor in any situation.

#23 Having the gift of humour to laugh or smile at yourself and to do so for others is priceless ! Maybe you will laugh if it's funny enough or you are relaxed. Laughter is very good medicine Smiling is good too to build trust and rapport You will never be a grinch with that gift !
#22 Thank you for tagging me on the post, Louise Smith. I guess it is partially true. I answered the questions truthfully, and without bias. So maybe it is bringing out a side of me that even I didn't know existed. I do make people laugh with some comments, from time-to-time. But truthfully, even though I smile a lot, I am not really a person who laughs their heart out. I do manage to find humor in every situation though. This test tells me I have a shot at being humorous so I will try, maybe. Thanks again for writing it...I thought I was some kind of a grinch, otherwise. Lol!
Great buzz, Louise Smith! Enjoyed reading it. Took the test, btw, I got this "You have a mostly self-enhancing sense of humor. Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles, but yours leans most heavily toward self-enhancing, meaning you know how to laugh at yourself (in a way that makes you feel better, not worse) and find the humor in any situation."
You can guess the results of this study "Individual differences in uses of humor and their relation to psychological well-being: Development of the Humor Styles Questionnaire," Journal of Research in Personality 2003 Read the Abstract here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/223437499_Individual_differences_in_uses_of_humor_and_their_relation_to_psychological_well-being_Development_of_the_Humor_Styles_Questionnaire
I did the Development of the Humor Styles Questionnaire https://www.thecut.com/article/whats-your-humor-style.html I have a mostly affiliative sense of humor. Everyone's sense of humor is a mix of all four styles but mine leans most heavily toward affiliative, meaning I'm good at cracking jokes and trading banter to build connections with other people. I agree with this result. Give it a try !

You're right, Louise Smith... Maybe I just need to let go and relax and let myself laugh when some good humor comes my way. :-)
