thank you all for your comments. My belief that orthodox jews have a highter prevalence of Cluttering is based on clinical experience but not on precise data based on a research. My M.A thesis is about Cluttering and more then half of my subjects are orthodox and they all mentioned they have friends and family members who speak just like them. The reason is of course still unknown, two possibale causes might be genetics or behavioral due to the way they study in the "yeshiva" (orthodox biblical school): they read very fast and pray simultaneously. In addition, they are required to answer very fast to questions. I believe that this might be a very interesting topic for research and might shed some light on the atiology of Cluttering.
