I would be much more impressed if criminal profiling weren't, you know, hokum.
Hee. You've got to give the writers credit for some touch with reality, though; I think there are more CM episodes where the profile is TOTALLY WRONG than ones where they nail it from the beginning. Like that article said, different people may do the same things for very different reasons.
As for profiling and cold reading, I've been convincing people I'm psychic for years. I once guessed a guy's name and "sun sign" having known him for about five minutes. He almost wet his pants. (George, Taurus.)

yes, they often get it wrong on the first go.
No, they showed the season opener again.
Thank you, ita.
And a jaunty raspberry to Zenkitty
Aw, sad. What's the site where you got that, ita?
Does Erika have that? If not, someone needs to let her know.
Hot Damn! Ordered that too (along with the mega-cheap Farscape complete).
That is good. Even allowing for the fact of there being, like, four eps in the last two seasons I like enough to watch again...the eleven billion rewatches of the first four make it a decent value.
(it really wrecked the sixth season when Tim came back wrong and slept with Luther Mahoney)
(Waits for the other two people who'll laugh at that to show up.)
