If you had to estimate, how many times do you blink your eyes per minute?

[True Dough]

I notice this about other people on TV every so often if they are super heavy blinkers, particularly newscasters. It rarely occurs to me in real life, but I am cognizant of it while watching others on screen.

I'm on the low end. Probably about 12-15 times per minute.

When I think about it, that probably influences the rate.
