On September 9, 2009, rapper and fashion icon interrupted Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards while she was giving her award acceptance speech for Best Female Video. Kanye grabbed the microphone and pronounced that Beyonce, another female music artist, had a better video. As Taylor Swift was giving a touching speech, Kanye hijacked the moment and began with "Yo Taylor ... Imma let you finish, but ..." Kanye West became an instant meme and Taylor Swift fans were not happy. Beyonce herself reacted with a shocked facial expression, as did many others. While the incident appears to showcase Kanye's utter inability to read the room, the context of the situation is important. Many award shows strive to entertain viewers through cheeky stunts, as these are part of American pop media culture. Kanye West, being an entertainer, recognized an opportunity to do the same, although it did not sit well with many viewers and critics in hindsight. Kanye West's ability to modify his behavior in the spirit of contributing to the award show, and subsequent inability to stop when he went too far, demonstrates a below-average example of the Apperception attribute.

In the hit movie The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), outlaw teenager Sean Boswell finds himself in Japan after getting kicked out of America by the law and his own mother. After befriending a car enthusiast at school, he's in an underground car enthusiast meetup focused on a style of racing called drifting. As he's walking around, Sean spots a girl from his class and begins flirting with her while discussing technical aspects of car engines. Soon, though, the girl's boyfriend notices and walks over to join the conversation. Sean doesn't realize that the man is part of the crime family known as the Yakuza, and continues taunting him. Despite warnings from two people, Sean decides to race DK ("Drift King") after being allowed to borrow another character's car. Sean bombs the race, wrecks the car, and eats his words because of his inexperience with the drift style of racing. Sean's inability to self-monitor his aggression and impulses in a dangerous, novel setting demonstrates a total lack of the Apperception attribute.
