Model minority

Yeah that's something I saw some indian guy touch on that claim that it was bullshit. The immigrants already have some measure of success and are brought over here for that reason.

Hybrid Modeling

A mix of intuitive bar modeling and abstract algebra to solve word problems, which serves as a bridge from pre-algebraic thinking (hidden in the Singapore bar model method) to formal algebraic thinking (involved in solving an equation).
Many middle school students in Singapore are so fluent in the bar model method that teachers and parents find it hard to wean them from it in order to embrace the algebraic method. As a result, some math educators suggest using the blended or hybrid modeling to make the transition less painful.

Model Over Mind

When one prefers a fictional character model (a character's design) over their emotions and personality.
Star Wars fan 1: I honestly don't get how Boba Fett has a fanbase. He barely did anything in The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars fan 2: My guess is that it's a sign of model over mind. He does look pretty cool so maybe people like him just for his look.

Star Wars fan 1: That actually explains a lot.

An anxiety disorder similar to PTSD affecting 3D Artists, digital modellers and CAD designers caused by stressful or distressing 3D modelling experiences.

Someone with PTMD often relives the traumatic event through dreams and flashbacks, and may experience feelings of isolation, irritability and guilt.

This particularly manifests as an adverse reaction to songs heard during the event which trigger flashbacks and is thought to affect approximately 1 in 1 people who experience modelling trauma.

Sufferers may also have problems sleeping, such as insomnia, and find concentrating difficult.
"Every time I hear that song, it triggers my PTMD (Post-traumatic Modelling Disorder). I'm transported back to trying to resolve that corner"
"I couldn't sleep last night - PTMD. All I saw when I closed my eyes was vertices"
