My PsychologyToday.com article today is the third in a four-part series aimed at helping
professionals take their vocabulary to the highest level you’ll need in
the real world.
I present 21 words in a sentence. Your job is to decide whether it’s being used correctly.
Simply decide; true or false.
After I provide the answers, I've appended the definitions of the 327
words I identified in doing the research for this series. They are the
words I had heard of or read but didn’t know their meaning. There are
worse uses of your time than to learn ten a night, perhaps just an
activity to do during the commercials on TV.
This is the second in a three-part series. It's for professionals who'd like to improve their vocabulary. The words are particularly helpful to people in the helping professions. This installment uses the short-short story format to avoid the how-to article’s aridity.

A while back, I wrote a long article, Will Humans Be Necessary?
As my PsychologyToday.com article today, I offer a column-length and updated version.
As my PsychologyToday.com article today, I've posted an edited transcript of my exchange with a caller to my radio
program today. It offers thoughts for anyone thinking they want to
dramatically change their life.
In a rational world, the average person wouldn’t get hired for an
above-average job. After all, the internet enables the employer to
expose an opening to millions of job seekers, get dozens if not hundreds
of applicants, and applicant tracking software and job-simulation
testing enable employers to select the best candidate. That’s rarely an
average person.
Yet average people get hired every day. How? Because the employer
doesn’t care enough to do a thorough search or has irrationally become
fond enough of a person to forgo a more rational hiring process.
My PsychologyToday.com article today shares tips for how to induce the swoon.
As my PsychologyToday.com contribution today, I offer a short-short story that tells the thoughts of a person attending a bar-mitzvah. Does he deserve opprobrium as "judgmental" or praise for his discernment?
As my PsychologyToday.com contribution today, I offer a short-short story about middle-class stress.

Today, a career counseling client told me he’d like to move from being an
individual contributor to a manager of people.
But while he's in-step with current management
beliefs—be collaborative and a good listener---he fears he’s too nice and that
smart, strong supervisees could steamroll him.
He doesn’t want to spend
the time and money on an MBA or other extensive management training. So he asked me if I could offer some streamlined advice. I share what I said in my PsychologyToday.com article today.
Today, we seem ever more polarized. Of course, the U.S. presidential
election brought this into full relief but apart from that.
Excessive zeal leads to excessive closed-mindedness, intolerance, and
enmity.
In a small (if lengthy) attempt to engender moderation, my PsychologyToday.com article today lists some of the day’s more contentious positions and reasons why
moderate positions and certainly respect for differing opinions is
justified.
As a thought experiment, I decided to try to make a case for pursuing one of the careers least likely to generate even a survival living: songwriter. I post that as my PsychologyToday.com article today.
