"What kind of character are you?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

When you think nobody’s looking, do you behave differently than when you know someone is?

For instance, let’s say your boss is out of town and it’s Friday afternoon. You’ve got a lot of work to do, but since the boss isn’t around looking, do you just not return to the office after lunch?

Let’s say you go to the company break room a little before lunch. You peek into the refrigerator and there’s a Styrofoam box in it. You look around to make sure no one is watching, pick up the box, and open it. There’s your favorite sandwich in it. So you take it out, wolf it down, and put the box back in the fridge.

And let’s say you’re sitting at your computer, working away, when you remember you didn’t check your email last night. So with a few clicks, you’re into your account, and reading the jokes and forwards your friends send, peering over your shoulder to make sure no one is looking.

So if someone were looking, would you act differently?

Your character forms out of what you do when no one is looking.
