KOST 103.5 FM radio is currently
holding a raffle for an all-expenses paid trip to the Aulani
Disney Resort and Spa on Hawaii. According to the competition rules, at the
host’s instruction the 20th person to call the station is entered
into the raffle for a gift card and the trip. This afternoon, the KOST 103.5 FM radio host, Mark Wallengren
let the caller know she was the lucky winner with some fun banter: “Spell ‘winner’ for me.”
And that is exactly what she started to do—until the caller realized she
was the winner the host meant and wanted to know her name. “W-i-n-n—Oh!”
This brief interaction told me everything I could have wanted to know
about both individuals’ respective suggestibility
and sexual personality. According to Hypnosis
Motivation Institute founder John Kappas, Ph.D., the
way a person responds to a question says a lot about how this individual
communicate and learn. Someone with physical suggestibility processes information
literally and directly, while the Physical
Sexual uses metaphors to communicate. Conversely, someone with emotionalsuggestibility processes information through inferences and metaphors, while
the Emotional
Sexual tends to speak directly and literally.
Based on the description above, I deduced that Mr. Wallengren is a
Physical Sexual personality. While his question was a literal instruction, he introduced/informed
the caller that she won this phase of the competition with a metaphor or
puzzle. Also, the fact that his job entails a lot of social interaction and he
often tells anecdotes about his wife and family, which supports my analysis of
his personality. Meanwhile, the caller’s initial, literal interpretation of his
request suggests to me that she is a physical suggestible or even somnambulist,
which is a very high level of suggestibility. In addition, hers is probably
also a Physical
Sexual personality because she called into the radio station to participate
in the competition; this very public activity put her at the center of
attention in a very large population, a position that few people with an Emotional
Sexual personality would want or seek.
