ac团队成员Andy Hertzfeld评价乔布斯拥有现实扭曲力场（Reality distortion field），指乔布斯口若悬河的表述能力和过人的意志力，能够扭曲事实达成目标，形成混淆视听的惊人能力。在这样一个要求完美、敏感暴躁的人手底下动作，Mac团队的人似乎慢慢磨练出了一种跟乔布斯打交道的超强能力。1981年开始他们甚至设立了一个奖项：最能勇敢面对乔布斯的人（the person who did the best job of standing up to him）。为乔布斯这样的人工作，你似乎只有两个选择：被他打击到崩溃，或是咬牙坚持熬过去，你会赢得他的尊重（to crush or to survive）。

【英语原文】

Was Jobs’s unfiltered behavior caused by a lack of emotional sensitivity? No. Almost the opposite. He was very emotionally attuned, able to read people and know their psychological strengths and vulnerabilities. He could stun an

unsuspecting victim?with an emotional towel-snap, perfectly aimed. He intuitively knew when someone was faking it or truly knew something. This made him masterful at cajoling, stroking, persuading, flattering, and intimidating people. “He had the?uncanny capacityto know exactly what your weak point is, know what will make you feel small, to make you cringe,” Joanna Hoffman said. “It’s a common trait in people who are charismatic and know how to manipulate people. Knowing that he can crush you makes you feel weakened and eager for his approval, so then he can elevate you and put you on a pedestal and own you.”(Chapter 11?The Reality Distortion Field :?Playing by his Own Set of?Rules)

乔布斯这种毫不掩饰的极端行为是因为他不够敏感吗？不，情况恰恰相反。他拥有超强的'情感理解能力，能够读懂别人，看出他们心理优势和弱点。他能够在别人毫无防备的情况下，咬紧牙关一击即中，触及对方的内心最深处。他可以凭直觉看出一个人是在假装还是真的懂点什么，这种能力使他可以哄骗、安抚、劝服、奉承、胁迫别人，各种手段运用自如，玩弄于股掌中。“他有这样一种可怕的能力，能准确无误的知道你的弱点在哪儿，知道怎样能让你觉得自己渺小，知道怎样能让你退缩。” Mac 团队成员乔安娜·霍夫曼这样说道（照片中左起第二位，两届“最能勇敢面对乔布斯的人”奖得主）。“这是那些魅力非凡、懂得如何操纵别人的天才身上的共同特质。他可以打击摧毁你，让你内心变得很弱小，急切想要获得他的认可，然后他就会帮你扶摇直上，把你捧上天，然后完全拥有你。”
