Summary

The psychologist concludes that horoscopes do not determine our personalities, supporting this claim with an example of two people born at the same time with different personalities.

Notable Assumptions

Though the conclusion is that horoscopes do not determine personality, the argument never actually establishes that the two individuals in this example have the same horoscope. It’s possible that, despite being born at the same time, these two do not actually share a horoscope.

In order for this example to work as support for the claim that horoscopes do not determine personalities, the author must assume that these two individuals have the same horoscope.
