i read in an article, i believe it was esquire, that if you force someone to think of a number between one and ten quickly, a distinct majority will say 7.

A majority? Or a plurality? Seems to me it would be very unlikely for over 50% of a sample group to answer 7. But I have no idea what article you're talking about, I'm just using some common sense.
