I worked on a show where we had a guest astrologer. He did a reading on me - love the seas, probably drowned at sea in a former life (and that would make me love it how?), got most of my basic attributes right.
Then as I screened calls for him, I was amazed how many people said "that reading was just like me!" And yet it sounded so specific.
I have to talk to upwards of 100 "targets" every day for my job, currently a video project on renewable engery. I have to deduce who will be the most likely to be sympathetic. Beyond obvious signs, it's amazing how get to learn to read people.
