The doodlers creamed the nondoodlers

I hope I’m not the only one who snickered because that sentence sounded vaguely dirty.

Yay for us and our retarded professions.

NO …really.

I find that surfing the internet uses up my doodling time…
incidentally I’d very much like to use my doodle on the girl in the photo.

I’ve doodled for my whole life. Art student and now i work in an art related job. had a consistant 3.5 grade point average. I had a teacher actually give me extra points for a doodle on a work sheet in Elementary school.

My dad has a weird doodling habit when he is busy crunching numbers or on the phone with someone. He always seem to enjoy making elaborate box art on the paper around words.

Thank god… I guess I didn’t completely waste my time drawing a thousand things on Scribbls then.

Wow! I wish I had this evidence when I was in high school. Could have saved me a couple detentions.

This is nothing new. I can recall a similar study put out nearly fifteen years ago, and in turn I’m sure there were some even before that. : )

@ Camilla

I do exactly the same thing.

In meetings I have had people ask to see my notes only to be confounded by the sheets of doodling.

I remember what I need but doodling helps me do so.

I’m a games artist so it’s me job too.

When I was a student, I always spent my classes drawing. Some people were surprised that my test scores were high, but it was just the way I concentrated. If I was blankly staring at the teacher, my mind would wander and I would become distracted.
