If you want to be a big-ideas person at work, suit up. A paper in August 2015 in  Social Psychological and Personality Science  asked subjects to change into formal or casual clothing before cognitive tests.

It's difficult to know where to begin in this moment of sober refelction. Do we begin from Obi's declaration that State Governors fly with as many as 30 persons to Abuja for...
