I’m no politician, nor do I like politics. Here’s a theory, though, that just popped in my head 2 days ago.
People are driven to decide by the way they are which can be categorized into three: the introverts, the extroverts, and the in-betweens. The introverts decide using their heads while the extroverts decide using their feelings/hearts. The in-betweens are torn with the combination of both which can be the best of both worlds, deciding intelligently with a mix of human touch.
The introverts don’t act on impulse. They’re good in emergencies. They think before they speak. Whether it is for self-gain or for the welfare of the country, they will elect someone based on what they know about the candidate’s capability, moral standing, integrity, and platform. If someone buys their votes, the introverts will readily see that the candidate is already corrupt. They can easily spot a candidate who is always late and will not vote for that person. They think if a candidate cannot be trusted in least, how can he be trusted in much? They can see if a candidate can be swayed to and fro or if he is knowledgeble or not in the field he is entering into. The head rules in the introvert’s point of view.
The extroverts are ruled by the heart–their feelings. Whether they pity a candidate or are mad of another, this type of voter will be drawn by other people’s emotions. They like the crowd without thinking what it’s all about. They’ll vote for the candidate who sways their emotions by mere talk. They’ll vote out of pity and buddy-buddy mentality. They’ll vote for someone because they feel so.
The in-betweens will vote based on both about what they think and what they feel.
So, who do you think will win? It depends on how many voters are introverts, extroverts and in-betweens. Do you have any data on that? If you do, the next president is caculated…given that the program is not erred. Has it been tested that if a voter selects no one or selects everyone, what will be the result? An IF statement can be (possibly) inserted like If voter did not select any candidate, put 1 point for specific candidate, or if no one is selected, give 1 point to a specific candidate. Something like that.
How do you know, by handwriting, if someone is an introvert, an extrovert or an in-between?
1. Writing that is vertical to one that slants to the left is that of an introvert.
2. Writing that slants as much to the right is that of an extrovert.
3. Writing that slants a bit to the right is that of an in-between. The farther right it slants, the more an extrovert the person is.
Put this to a test. In a group of ten, for example, identify the introverts, extroverts and in-betweens. How many for each category did you arrive at? How about a hundred? A thousand? You’ll have a rough idea who will in that particular group.
