Scientists have discovered what they believe to be the most boring person in the world.

If you live in a small town, you’re an accountant who likes watching TV, we’re afraid you’re at risk of being a snooze-inspiring bore.

Religion, bird watching and smoking are now seen as the dullest hobbies while working in data analysis, cleaning and banking are also signs you might not be very interesting.

Study lead Dr Wijnand Van Tilburg said:

“The irony is studying boredom is actually very interesting and has many real-life impacts."

“These paper shows how persuasive perceptions of boredom are and what an impact this can have on people."

“Perceptions can change but people may not take time to speak to those with ‘boring’ jobs and hobbies, instead choosing to avoid them."

“They don’t get a chance to prove people wrong and break these negative stereotypes."
