What can be learned from the Barnum Effect?

Answer 1

The answer is People can be cautious about accepting personality interpretations as total truth. This is so because it can affect how you perceive yourself. From the famous quote of  René Descartes, “I think therefore I am.” Whatever you think of yourself then that is who and what you are. If you think you don’t have the strength to face problems in your life then that will really happen, but if you think you have the capacity to overcome any obstacle in your life then no matter how difficult your problem is, you will always find solutions to it. However, if the interpretation is not good and you believe it as bible truth then you will carry it with you and embody such interpretation as if that is your totality not giving you room for improvement and / or advancement. Nevertheless, it is good if the interpretation is good and you believe it is as true because it will give you a better outlook about yourself and how you deal with things in your life.

However, it will still be better to know yourself better, identify your strength and weaknesses and improve your weakness and enhance your strength more and not depend on any horoscope or other interpretations done by other people.
