Was the fridge furnished with the apartment? Were the magnets on it? Do you have/use just enough to perform useful services such as grocery list holder?

Absolutely they count. Paper is more 2 dimensional than magnets. (Are there really different degrees of two dimensionality?) yet, a book or a notepad is just a collection of pieces of paper and I don't think anyone would deny it as a possession.
Yes, indeed! Magnets do count for me especially on a fridge.
Hm. What's the point in counting anyway? Does it matter if you have 537 or 534 possessions if you count/do not count your fridge magnets?
If they are useful for you, keep them. If not, give them to someone who is bothered by his "naked" fridge ;-)
There's a smug sense of superiority over having fewer possessions among some minimalists.What's the point in counting anyway?
I think it is really a: "how many angels can fit on the head of a pin?" discussion, for you intellectual amusement or something. Angels take up no space and are not to be counted as our possessions. Not even our guardian angel? No.

To anyone with 534 or 537 possessions it certainly doesn't matter. After all, that person is a maximalist. But to someone who would have either 150 or 153 possessions depending on the answer to the question then yes, it would matter a great deal.
The more important question than whether fridge magnets count is whether socks should be counted individually or in pairs. I personally lean towards individually since everyone's washing machine eats them and it would be silly when one went missing to say "This remaining sock is half of a possession. These two mismatched single socks combined only represent one full possession."
