Summary & key points
In the hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), successful financer Jordan Belfort finds himself on his own boat being visited by FBI agents for financial crimes of a criminal nature. Very serious. He cordially invites them up to his boat and engages in 15 minutes of conversation warm up before the two agents and the focused-eyed Belfort begin to talk about brass tax. Belfort suggests, in so few words, that he is willing to do anything within his power to make peoples' lives better, including applying his experience and money. The FBI agent interprets this as a clear bribe, and breaks protocol by asking Jordan to repeat it again because he believes that Jordan has incriminated himself terribly. Comedic dialogue proceeds thereafter. Belfort’s knowledge of the law seemingly influenced his lack of details for how the crime would work in a logistical manner, which would constitute evidence of committing a bribery crime. Belfort's selective word choices intended to dilute clarity in order to avoid self-incrimination demonstrate communication well below average in the Specificity attribute.

In season 1, episode 4 of the hit Netflix show called Wednesday (2022), teenager Wednesday Addams is discussing plans for going to a school dance with a certain someone. In typical Wednesday fashion, she redirected the conversation from her feelings to her priorities. This was highlighted when Wednesday said that it's not her fault for being unable to interpret "emotional morse code." Her lack of interest in discussing feelings and emotions and word choices reflect the Emotion attribute.

In Katy Perry's hit single "Roar" (2013), the musical artist inspired millions around the world to embrace their own inner spirit animal. The powerful lyrics feature nature and wild animals as a core theme. However, listeners are left with many questions regarding many ambiguous lines. For example, the phrase "You held me down, but I got up (hey)" begs several questions: who is Perry referring to and what incident is she referencing, if real at all? It could be a figure of speech or a literal reference to the tragedy of domestic abuse. Lines like these and "I let you push me past the breaking point / I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything" require context not provided by Katy Perry, and this lack of detail demonstrates a well below-average example of the Specificity attribute.
