There are a few points to gather from these results. While the questioning and ironically surprised responses were expected, I was not expecting the picture to have a significantly higher like count than my other previous profile pictures. This is because I thought the picture was fairly generic and innocuous, which would lead most people scrolling past their feeds to ignore it without a second glance. What I found equally as surprising was the number of likes that I got from friends who weren't "close" friends.

These results can be a result of several different causes. For one, as one of the reply's pointed out, the picture that I took was remarkably similar to the "Not sure if" meme from Futurama. This could have lead to more people liking the photo in response to a humorous effect (as the comment was the first visible one). In addition, given the number of likes received from "non-close" friends, the increased number of likes from that group can be a result of a regular profile picture being more identifiable than the various other persona's I used on Facebook.
