It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are an above average driver. the Barnum Effect Quote Barnum effect n. A tendency for people to accept vague, ambiguous, and generalized statements as being accurate descriptions of their own personalities. The effect was first demonstrated empirically in 1949 by the US psychologist Bertram R(obin) Forer (1914–2000), who constructed a personality profile consisting of the following 13 statements, drawn largely from an astrology book In Marketing class, we discussed the psychological profile of beer drinkers. Essentially how they view themselves. - Most are armchair athletes who havent' played a sport in 10 years, but don't miss a televised game. - Tend to be sloppy and untidy. - Think of themselves as rebels who live life on their terms. We determined that a sales campaing based on fact would fail. "Hey... you sit among randomly strewn beer cans watching ESPN, drink this." So, we were going to go with the "guy with a mullet yelling Freebird and having a good time". It turns out that others had the same idea earlier. The instructor said that years ago Schlitz had expanded the idea with its "Go For The Gusto" campaign. Sexy people getting off a $200K sailboat in the islands with a case of Schlitz. Yeah...

lawrocket 3 #54 February 5, 2009 QuoteI'm a DIRECTOR/builder QuoteYou are an independent thinker who builds theories and approaches problems with an analytical, exacting, systematic and resourceful mind. And with your persistence, logic and determination, you tend to find innovative solutions to complex problems. You are particularly good with technical problems, those of mechanics, engineering, math, medicine, accounting, music or other "rule based" systems. Although you enjoy being part of a stable, secure social network, you easily spend time alone, pursuing your own projects and goals at your own speed, according to your own rules. You can focus your attention to the exclusion of all around you. And you have a deep sense of autonomy. You are a private person; you contain your emotions. You are also calm, efficient, quick to make decisions and remarkably self-disciplined. Yet you have a traditional, even sentimental streak. Family is important to you and you can be very protective of those you love. Eh, some of it's accurate. Same here Chelle. It added: *** In Love and Relationships As a Director you admire and collect knowledge; so you want a partner with whom you can have focused, educated, and often theoretical discussions on intellectual topics-a mind mate. You are direct and tough-minded, too. So you are attracted to someone who can complement you-someone who is verbally graceful, who weighs alternatives carefully and listens actively, and has well-honed social skills. Because you contain your emotions, you also gravitate to a mate who is warm and emotionally expressive. Yet you do not like people who engage in public displays of emotion, showing lack of self-containment. Because you have difficulty tolerating controlling people, you need a mate who is flexible, even indecisive. You particularly admire a partner who is self-sufficient. And you like a mate who is eager to help you make a stable home and maintain your public, business, and social ties. (Ehhh...Not quite) Relating to others Because you are ambitious, tough-minded and hardworking, your close friends admire you. In return, you can be fiercely loyal and protective of all those you love. Yet your complex personality is often hidden behind a wall of composure and logic. (Okay. This one is dead on) Things to be aware of You are susceptible to intense anger when you feel hurt, disappointed or frustrated. (Actually. No. I've yelled exactly three times in the last five years) Your ambition can lead to workaholism. You can become impatient with people and situations that appear simple-minded or circuitous. Spark Factor You tend to naturally gravitate to NEGOTIATOR/builders. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
