In rock band Blondie's 1978 hit single called Heart of Glass, the lyrics tell us about the potential disappointment of romance. The entire song features a single example of colorful language: "... soon turned out to be a pain in the a**." This limited, tame use of colorful language exemplifies the Formality attribute.
In 1998, the Department of Justice sued Microsoft for antitrust violations. Bill Gates, the founder and leader of the company, had to testify. In widely circulated videos, Gates is shown evading some questions on the grounds that he does not understand. The lawyer tried to corner Gates on many occasions, without success.
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.
In the hit movie The Gambler (2014), Jim Bennett is a professor leading a secret double life as a high-stakes gambler. Jim is forced to borrow money from a dangerous gangster named Little Frank. Before loaning any funds, Frank delivers a monologue explaining how to manage personal finances such that one is never at the discretion of another person or organization. The monologue packs a lot of specific information clearly, but is obfuscated by a high frequency of the phrase "f*** you." Frank's crisp explanation and emphasis on the expletive phrase demonstrates a below-average example of the Readability attribute.
In the hit movie Avengers: Infinity War (2018), supervillain Thanos has acquired all of the infinity stones necessary in order to control events across the universe. Thor swoops in and drives his massive axe in Thanos' chest to try and stop him. As Thor drives the axe deeper in his chest, Thanos yelps in pain, before regaining his composure. He then tells Thor "you should have gone for the head," and snaps his fingers. Thanos then appears in a red, foggy, dream-like landscape with a large gazebo-style structure in the distance. As Thanos approaches, he sees a child version of Gamora, the girl he sacrificed to get the stones in the first place. Gamora asks him if he did it, and what the cost was. Thanos replies with "yes" and indicates that the cost was "everything," with a teary-eyed look. The clip returns to the fight scene with Thor, and Thor angrily asks what Thanos did. Thanos disappears and a battle scene in another location shows half the people disintegrating into black ashes. Thanos' inability to describe his physical discomfort or other stimuli in his environment demonstrate a well-below average example of the Sensation attribute.
