"Someone has to stand up and say what is on everyone else's mind."

(General) Projection

Here projection is assuming that others act or perceive similarly – according to this definition it is not necessary for a projected trait to be undesirable or unconscious. Projection is probably inherent in social animals and the single most important psychological mechanism. The following are given as examples:

1. Individual A assumes that B sees the colour red as he does, until informed that B is colour-blind;

2. Someone who never lies is easy to deceive because he projects his truthfulness onto others, assuming that others are honest also;

3. ‘It takes one to know one’;

4. An inept con-man fears that others are trying to cheat him, signals his fear and alerts others;

5. (Freudian) An individual who possesses malicious characteristics, but who is unwilling to perceive himself as a protagonist, convinces himself that his opponent feels and would act the same way.
