A Mind Game That Could Pay Big Dividends

Here is an interesting mind game played by a friend of mine in the security business. It has helped him to be able to create vivid descriptions of suspicious persons he encounters around commercial and industrial sites where he is stationed.

Whenever he gets a chance -- even when he is just walking along the street he tries to recreate the man or woman who just passed or or who he was speaking with. Of course he is careful not to stare at people when he encounters them. He just takes a quick glance and then tries to remember as many of the features of that person as possible and then, when possible, comparing this pictures with the actual person when he meets them again.

This has helped him to create much more vivid and accurate descriptions of suspects and other persons in his reports to clients, supervisors, and the police. He says, "It is just like riding a bike. The more you practice the better you get at it.
