Most of us think we are fairly good psychologists and thus make snap judgments about the character, intelligence and personality of people with whom we come in contact—but every ne of us knows of cases where oar judgment has later proved vC be entirely wrong. In our normal scoring of per sonality,. perhaps the greatest pro portion of errors are mdde in mistaking an inferiority complex for conceit, or vice versa. An out- epoken person, who seems to car ry his personality on the tip- of his tongue, is often pouring out words which may not come close to reflecting his true thoughts or his real nature. We may get the idea that he has an exceptionally fine opinion of himself because of his great desire to talk on all subjects, whereas this insistence on self-expression may actually be a frantic defense against a feeling of inferiority. In the same' way, the quiet man who is often accused of conceit because of his apparent unwillingness to enter into con versation, is often writhing with discomfort over his inability tc translate his thoughts into words DISLIKES? .... crust All of u^ build outward screens to hide what we consider the weaknesses in our make-up. Just as a man who suffers from some physical affliction is apt to draw attention from it by performing unusual physical feats, it is hu man nature to cover up our men tal and moral handicaps. We often hear of a blind man who becomes an accomplished pianist, a lame man who is an expert swimmer, a small man who makes up for his size by developing bulging muscles and a homely girl who attracts at tention to herself with beautiful clothes.

We can become very close friends to some people be fore we get a real insight into their real nature—and there are countless cases in the lives of all of us where we harbor dislikes for certain acquaintances whom we would truly enjoy if we had waited to form an opinion until we had really fathomed through the crust behind which their true personality lies. Even among members of the same family there are definite blind spots which often make it impossible for a man to really know his wife or his children. / NATIONS . misunderstood This same lack of understand ing which exists between friends and families, is even more ac cented in the relations existing between groups of people such as the populace of different nations. If the personality of a nation could be psycho-analyzed like the personality of a man or woman, we would often find that our likes and dislikes for nations are founded on false outward im pressions. We think of the present C mans as a brutal, coarse, debn ^d people, which they have demon strated themselvse to be in U is war, but actually their de: i- stration of those * character i?s in this war may be the “f t” which hides a discouraged, fright ened and distraught people.
