Pixar’s Cars analysis

Like I said, I don’t have the program in front of me. So, I don’t know which IC Elements Doc would get if we switched Lightning’s Issue from Delay (with Pursuit, Avoid, Support, Oppose), and instead gave him an Issue of Openness (with Consider, Re-consider, Faith, Disbelief).

I was making a guess at what the software would choose, based on weak prior knowledge.

But, now that I remember some things, yeah, you are definitely following along right. I made a mistake in my guessing. (I forgot to look at where the Problem fell in the OS, being the same as Lightning’s [since he’s a Changed character]. And, I should have used that quad to figure out Doc’s Focus. I went straight from Lightning to Doc… Oops…)

If we take this route, we could look at it as being overtly inconsiderate. In this case, he doesn’t consider how driving all night will affect Mac, throwing him into Radiator Springs. He refuses to think about the town, which easily causes arguments all over the place for him there. He “forgets” (actually, it doesn’t even come to mind, IIRC) to say Good-Bye to Mater, which might explain his lack of focus during the race.

But, these don’t feel extremely personal to Lightning.

The things that come to mind for that are Help, Support, Acceptance, Rejection, Oppose, and Consider. (Some seen in a negative light, others in a positive.) It is possible that there are others, though.
