Abstract: Abstract The human tendency of pairing asymmetrical images in a way that gives preference to stimuli that more closely approach perfection has been observed in more general contexts, e.g., [14]. The flag preference data described in Chap. 1 suggest that hidden in the first-to-second rankings is the preference for matching the two flags in a way that one is a vertical reflection image of the other. This demonstration was repeated again with a second group of 13 subjects, thus producing a total of 78 rankings.
