Psychological Tricks

Here are some insightful psychological tricks discussed on The Jordan Harbinger Show:

1. Trait Selection through Stress: Kevin Dutton shares a story about a soccer coach who intentionally berated young players to see how they would respond. This tactic was used to select for resilience, a critical psychological trait for success in high-pressure situations. Those who showed determination despite criticism were valued higher than those who gave up easily 1 .

2. Verbal Deception in Psychic Readings: Mark Edward explains how psychics use verbal deception and suggestion to convince people.

3. Psychopathy Checklist: Dr. Sohom Das discusses the Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCLR), a formal test used to diagnose psychopathy. The test includes 20 items scored to evaluate psychopathic traits. Gathering information from multiple sources helps in making a more accurate assessment 3 .
