> personality studies that have detection for people attempting to fool the study Interesting to hear about that, and what you've found. What you write, makes me think about the feelings part of the brain, and that those parts are really old, like, from the dinosaur age. And they're a bit stupid and predictable, I think. The emotional intelligence tests try to "measure" those old and silly and predictable parts of the brain -- but maybe the new and fancy cerebral cortex logical thinking parts of an intelligent person's brain, can always learn and understand how the feelings parts of the brain, would react in different situations. Maybe it's impossible to create accurate EQ tests (that cannot be gamed by a bright person with some life experience), because the EQ parts of the brain are too simple to understand how they work, for the thinking and reasoning parts of the brain. > you can simply choose to be a dark person for no particularly good reason other than deciding to be. Apparently you can -- I cannot though. The long term effects of my decisions, needs to be friendly to others (or have no effect), otherwise my brain produces strong unpleasant feelings. - - - Interesting to read about the $5 from the register question. I'd never think about that way at looking at the answers. Instead I'd thought that never never taking $1 would have been a bit too rigid, inflexible, a trait that I d guessed could cause other types of problems (but what do I know).
