In James Gunn's 2025 movie Superman, Mister Terrific joins Lois Lane on a mission to rescue Superman. During their conversation about Lois' relationship with Clark Kent, Mister Terrific interrupts, stating, "I'm not into peoples' emotions," accompanied by intense, penetrating eye contact. This lack of interest and emotional expression reflects the Emotion attribute.

In season 3, episode 16 ("The One with the Morning After") of the hit TV show Friends (1997), Ross Geller is confronted for cheating by his romantic partner, Rachel. Ross insists on talking about it. Rachel asks him many penetrating questions about the encounter, and Ross is both open and honest. Rachel attacks him physically after many of his answers. Ross' habit of thoroughly and readily answering Rachel's "trap" questions demonstrate the Volubility attribute.

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 season 2, episode 24 ("Valley Girls") of the hit TV show Gossip Girl (2009), high schooler Blair Waldorf is vying for prom queen as she discovers new information about her progress. During the prom queen announcement portion of the school function, Blair accuses Chuck of sabotaging her with fake votes against her. However, others were scheming against Blair and Chuck actually submitted 150 votes in order to help Blair win prom queen. Blair's use of deductive reasoning and analyses of Chuck's actions, although incorrect, demonstrate an above-average example of the Inference attribute.
