•   Demonstrate a correct understanding of the definition or description of the P.T. Barnum effect.
•   Example should highlight the presentation of general information to the person (either the student or the friend) and describe how that information was perceived as credible, accurate, and specific to the person, even when it really wasn’t.
•   Example needs to be a correct example of the P.T. Barnum effect and not some other idea from the chapter.
