In the there was no difference between the first and second tests, and the top six subjects from the third to the twelfth times deliberately made mistakes according to prior requirements, so as to observe whether the responses of the subjects showed conformity behavior. When given another participant to tell the right answer they felt a connection and the subject felt more comfortable answering the right one.
INTERPRETATION 
people conform for two main reasons: they want to fit in with the group and because they believe the group is more informed than they are.
