I did a rationality module at undergrad.

See how you get on with this. Something like 90% of people get this wrong.

there is A LOT but in a nutshell
freedom #1 priority everywhere. rational and analytical person who seems cold from the outside due to distancing himself from his feeling(trying to be rational).
very open and "out of the box", **** rules/boundaries, **** ignorance

there seems to be a wording issue/confusion

If a card has a circle on one side, then it has the colour yellow on the other side.

people naturally assume that this also means that if one card has a yellow side it has a circle on the other.
based on results that doesn't seem to be case so you need to explicitly state that imo

those statements are all positive or neutral. imagine the reverse horoscope

you don't like freedom. you are an irrational and frivolous person who is very close minded and you are prone to outward displays of emotional swings. you have a need to follow the rules at all times and you embrace ignorance.

i feel like fewer people would relate to that one

Still confused by the number of people who think @Palace is that tough a game, they've got 2 points from their last 10 games and haven't won in 12.

Aside from the fact that palace has run like complete aids they just got their best attacking player back.

Spurs fans, would you be happy with the following very possible scenario.

The morning of May 15th..our heroes are just 1 point back of Lolester.

Spurs @ Newcastle.
Lolester@ Chelsea.

It could happen!

Bolasie was their best contributer for xg and xa before his injury. He still leads the team in open play xg despite his injury and is second in open play xa behind zaha. To put that in perspective it would be close to the equivalent of mahrez getting injured and missing half a season in regards to open play scorepoint contributions. I think mahrez is a better player but it's a moderately reasonable comparison.

I would actually take the following scenario:

Maintain the 5 point deficit and +GD with 3 games remaining:

Leicester:
@ Manure
v Everton
@ Chelsea

Spurs:
@ Chelsea
v Soton
@ Toon

Both draw v Chelsea. Leicester draw v Everton and lose to Manure. Spurs beat Soton and Toon to take the title on GD. EZ game. Arsenal fans made.
