ac團隊成員Andy Hertzfeld評價喬布斯擁有現實扭曲力場（Reality distortion field），指喬布斯口若懸河的表述能力和過人的意志力，能夠扭曲事實達成目標，形成混淆視聽的驚人能力。在這樣一個要求完美、敏感暴躁的人手底下動作，Mac團隊的人似乎慢慢磨練出了一種跟喬布斯打交道的超強能力。1981年開始他們甚至設立了一個獎項：最能勇敢面對喬布斯的人（the person who did the best job of standing up to him）。為喬布斯這樣的人工作，你似乎只有兩個選擇：被他打擊到崩潰，或是咬牙堅持熬過去，你會贏得他的尊重（to crush or to survive）。

【英語原文】

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)

喬布斯這種毫不掩飾的極端行為是因為他不夠敏感嗎？不，情況恰恰相反。他擁有超強的.情感理解能力，能夠讀懂別人，看出他們心理優勢和弱點。他能夠在別人毫無防備的情況下，咬緊牙關一擊即中，觸及對方的內心最深處。他可以憑直覺看出一個人是在假裝還是真的懂點什麼，這種能力使他可以哄騙、安撫、勸服、奉承、脅迫別人，各種手段運用自如，玩弄於股掌中。“他有這樣一種可怕的能力，能準確無誤的知道你的弱點在哪兒，知道怎樣能讓你覺得自己渺小，知道怎樣能讓你退縮。” Mac 團隊成員喬安娜·霍夫曼這樣説道（照片中左起第二位，兩屆“最能勇敢面對喬布斯的人”獎得主）。“這是那些魅力非凡、懂得如何操縱別人的天才身上的共同特質。他可以打擊摧毀你，讓你內心變得很弱小，急切想要獲得他的認可，然後他就會幫你扶搖直上，把你捧上天，然後完全擁有你。”
