emotional behavior.

seem artificial. They may overreact emotionally or sexually to
situations. They can be very manipulative, using emotional explosions
to get their way.

often dress flamboyantly or wear outrageous hairstyles. They may dress
or act very sexually in an attempt to gain attention.

IMPRESSIONABLE:  They are very impressionable...overly trusting and
gullible. They often follow the latest trends in fashion, music, etc.
They will also form beliefs with little evidence and defend these
beliefs passionately.

SELF-ABSORBED: ...are usually vain and self-absorbed. They have
superficial relationships and their speech and emotional expression
lack genuine feeling.

CONCERNED WITH PRESENTATION:   Their personalities may change from
situation to situation in an attempt to look more attractive to
whomever is present.

cognitive techniques that aid in developing them...

me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an
explanation.
