数据录入员 PaulPaul, the data entry clerk
2015 · 一项心理学研究的结论2015 · the result of a study · Paul, the data entry clerk
2015 年，研究者让上千人描述「最无聊的人」，最后拼出了一个标准像：一个叫 Paul 的数据录入员，住在小城之外，爱看肥皂剧，爱观鸟，不太爱出门。他不是真人——他是「无聊」的统计学面孔。In 2015 researchers asked over a thousand people to describe “the most boring person”, then assembled a composite: a data entry clerk named Paul, living outside a city, who watches soap operas, likes birdwatching and doesn't go out much. He isn't real — he is the statistical face of boredom.
「他不是真人。」“He is not a real person.”
入选理由：他是被研究「算」出来的无聊，也因此出了名。Why they are here: He became famous for being calculated into boredom.
