JD Schramm is the MBA Class of 1978 Lecturer in Organizational Behavior at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. Computers are more accurate than humans at visually detecting sexual orientation, according to an article in this month's Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. That's not really news to me -- I've always been bad with "gaydar." I was once on a third date with a guy before I knew he was gay. Okay, I did not realize our first two coffees were actually dates in his mind, and the friends who introduced us failed to tell me it was a romantic setup.
