On February 13, 2005, superstar rapper Kanye West won a Grammy award at the 47th Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album as a result of his previously released album called College Dropout (2004). Kanye approached the podium to deliver his acceptance speech in a white outfit, and proceeded to give thanks to several individuals. The highlight of his speech was at the end when Kanye announced "everybody wanted to know what I would do if I didn't win. I guess we'll never know." Overall, the speech was brief, lacked details, and ended on a cliffhanger about what he would do. Kanye West's reluctance to share more information demonstrate a below-average example of the Volubility attribute.

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.

On September 14, 2023, UFC boss Dana White joined the famous UK broadcaster Piers Morgan for an interview on Morgan's YouTube channel, Piers Morgan Uncensored ("Piers Morgan vs Dana White | The Full Interview"). Morgan began asking Dana questions about his parents and upbringing, a topic that Dana usually avoids. As the questions became more personal, Dana politely set clear boundaries by shying away from certain details. For example, Dana disclosed that his parents recently passed away, but avoided providing specific dates or details. This is unlike the UFC boss who, having done many press conferences, is trained in and comfortable with sharing precise numbers and facts. The topic was exhausted when Dana remarked that the questions reminded Morgan of his own wife. Dana White's reluctance to provide precise information about his relationship with his own parents demonstrates a below-average example of the Specificity attribute.

In the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), successful financer Jordan Belfort finds himself on his own boat being visited by FBI agents for financial crimes of a criminal nature. Very serious. He cordially invites them up to his boat and engages in 15 minutes of conversation warm up before the two agents and the focused-eyed Belfort begin to talk about brass tax. Belfort suggests, in so few words, that he is willing to do anything within his power to make peoples' lives better, including applying his experience and money. The FBI agent interprets this as a clear bribe, and breaks protocol by asking Jordan to repeat it again because he believes that Jordan has incriminated himself terribly. Comedic dialogue proceeds thereafter. Belfort’s knowledge of the law seemingly influenced his lack of details for how the crime would work in a logistical manner, which would constitute evidence of committing a bribery crime.  Belfort's selective word choices intended to dilute clarity in order to avoid self-incrimination demonstrate communication well below average in the Specificity attribute.
