The results of the study showed that the "world's most boring person is a data entry worker who is religious, lives in a town, and has watching TV as their favourite hobby."

According to the results of the study, people working in the field of performing arts and science were perceived to be the most interesting whereas jobs like data analysis, banking, accounting, cleaning, or working in insurance or tax topped the list of boring jobs.

Hobbies that were considered boring included religion, watching animals, sleeping, and watching TV.

The study’s goal, however, was to get rid of the stereotypes of what people perceive as boring.

Dr Wijnand Van, who was leading the research, warned that being seen as boring can lead to self-harm, ‘addiction, and mental health issues.
