The 'flirting' link was just an amusing comic, until the penultimate panel, when you see the empty chair has 'confidence' written on the back, and that brought a tear to my eye.

Once I saw the title on the right hand chair, I really really wanted to see who the others were: I think confidence was the only one revealed, and yes, I felt the same way.

"Impulsiveness" is the one the woman is sitting in -- you can see it in the panel where they're raising their hands to vote.
