In the cult classic movie American Psycho (2000), Christian Bale portrays Patrick Bateman, a big-shot New York City investment banker who goes on a literal killing spree. After avoiding capture throughout the film, Patrick is sitting at the bar with his coworkers while the television is playing in the background. Bateman delivers the movie's closing with an intense monologue that describes the horrific things he has done, and how he has little remorse. Despite Bateman's cruel behavior, he discusses his feelings and those of others in vivid detail insofar as it matters to him. Bateman's comments about the emotional states of others demonstrate an average example of the Emotion attribute.

In the first season of the hit show The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022), Isabel "Belly" Conklin discovers what happens when she gets attention from boys around her. In this clip, Belly is at a convenience store snacking when she notices the clerk admiring her from afar. She seems to feel both surprised and flattered.

In the hit poker movie Rounders (1998), soon-to-be dropout law school student Mike McDermott is facing a stressful poker game against Teddy KGB, a Russian mobster with his own poker club. Mike previously lost his funds to Teddy KGB and has loan sharks after him. During the final poker showdown between the two, Mike is folding good hands because he notices that Teddy KGB has him beat when he splits open and eats an Oreo cookie. This cue allowed Mike to dominate most of the hands until Teddy KGB figured it out. The outburst indicates that the Russian realized his own tell. In using phrases like "Lays down a monster. The f*** did you lay that down. Should have paid me off ...," Teddy vocalizes his own inability to use cues, logical reasoning, and predictive consideration. This is reinforced by the expletives. Teddy KGB's self-admitted mistake after speaking in a confident manner demonstrates a near-bottom example of the Inference attribute.

In Superman (2025), Lex Luthor is confronted by Superman (Clark Kent) for stealing his dog. Superman storms in Lex's office in the city and flips his desk, demanding to know the location of his dog, Krypto. Lex lies to Superman while holding a stern glaze and sipping his coffee. Lex then makes a comment under his breath about how the dog wears a cape, making it plain to all that Lex in fact stole Superman's dog. Lex's ability to deceive Superman while giving himself away demonstrates an above-average example of the Apperception attribute.
