Have you read this book? I'm halfway through it and it's funny how bad it makes NTs look (even though the author apparently wasn't trying to do that).

For example, the author writes about NTs' inability to perceive things that don't fit their pre-existing beliefs, that social conventions can seem more real and truthful to them than concrete reality, that their adaptability makes them susceptible to propaganda, and that every little action they do (including eating and carrying things) may be designed to communicate something.

I don't read unless it's on a PC screen.

Have you ever heard of Derren Brown , he's a British mentalist and illusionist and I just watched a show of his called Pushed To The Edge , it was all to do with the power of social compliance by persuasion and was scary to watch but also fascinating you can watch her here if you interested http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3m40hu
