Given how much effort Tyson puts into making sure that others gain a false implication about who he is, Tyson is surprisingly quick to latch onto preconceived assumptions about people based on the words of other people.
Tyson trusts his gut to make a call about that person if the situation arises and Tyson is willing to change his view when necessary, but Tyson hasn’t survived so long by ignoring the information handed to him.
He tends to put more faith in an assertion of strength than weakness. Tyson knows from experience that its easier to appear weaker and less intelligent than one than to achieve the reverse.
If web contacts tell Tyson that someone isn’t dangerous, Tyson’s hackles immediately raise, but Tyson will generally accept the assessment of someone being dangerous.
