A group of people with different backgrounds and professions were asked to guess if certain individuals were models or not based on their appearance and demeanor. The individuals included a Muslim woman, a fitness enthusiast, a young man with a bold fashion sense, and others. The guessers were often incorrect, and the individuals revealed their actual professions, which included modeling, but not always in the way the guessers expected. The exercise showed that people's perceptions of models can be narrow and inaccurate, and that modeling encompasses a wide range of styles and types.
