"The urge of an ordinary person to find out our innermost secrets is called nosiness and is despicable. When it is done scientifically by a person with an appropriate college degree, it is called psychology..." Philippe Halsman 1959
Mr. Halsman proposed a new science of "Jumpology" whereby observing the arms, legs, body position, and facial expressions of a jumper could give a picture of an individual with their mask of civilization removed. He proposed that this could be used as a cheap and economical Rorschach test.
When asked how he came to discover jumpology, he answered with touching humility: "By sheer genius, I suppose."

I will leave it to the viewer to determine for themselves if this gallery provides any psychological insight.
