I'm a Gemini and this is scarily true, I shivered on several occasions.

"A man in this Zodiac has a thin long and proportional face (Look at my picture on the profile"). He has a
high forehead and very cleaver. He looks like he can not stand or sit
still, a very fast person. His nose is just right in size, thin lips,
talk fast and very talkative. He can think faster than he talks, but
once he start talking, he will talk non stop as if god has gifted him
with that special talk machine mouth. He likes to cut his hair short
and he is very athletic. He is a tall, slim and every movement of his
is "Fast" or nearly call "Hyperactive".

He has a long fingers and always tapping on table or moving his
finger as if he is trying to grab something. He is the type who will
write or scribble on paper, he never stay still. His hair always well
comb or neat. He will spent a long time to comb his hair. He will
keep his manicure and pedicure clean. He is a well dress and clean
guy, so if you like cleanliness, you will love him.

He will keep all his cloth in big closet, and never throw away even
shirts he never wear any more, but yet he still keep buying new
cloths and make sure he is in style. He knows how to dress well even
with a low budget. He get bored easily with his favorite cloths ,
cologne. He is very picky, so soap and his cologne even have to be in
the same trend or same scent.

If you date this kind of guy, you might think you are dating 2 guys,
you will have to guess his feeling and emotion. Is he doing thing
because it is a duty, or is it because he wants to?

He change his mind as fast as he change a new pairs of shoes. He can
pick up a book and roughly read through and understand it's contents,
so if you see a Gemini man who reads the whole book, then he must be
influenced by other Zodiac.

He hate to set fix schedule, and dislike a boring same routine job.
He could hardly be on time, and can only keep time if it is complete
important and necessary. He does not come late because he forgets,
but because he always find other attractions along the way. He likes
to act opposite to what he wants to do. He is a very good speaker and
make a very good politician. He can easily persuade other people and
well presented himself in public, a real charmer. If he is a writer,
he will write the best seller.

He always search for truth and constantly study himself. He never
satisfy about his fame, his reputation or money, because he thinks he
deserved more. He will keep searching even he is not sure what is his
ultimate satisfaction.

Woman in love normally wants to feel secure and stable, but if you
fall in love with this guy be prepare to be alone. He will come to
see you when he feels like it. He won't even know how he spent his
days everyday, so adjust yourself if you love him.

Dating him is like dating 2 guys, so today he can tell you how much
he loves you, but tomorrow he might call you to cancel your date.
When he upsets, he could tell you he hate your dress, even it is the
same dress he used to tell you make you look very sexy. Do not ask
him why he is that's way for he won't have any explanations too. When
he is back to normal mood, he will take you out again and forget what
just happened.

You can not expect him to be the same person now, and forever. His
changes will depend on you, for better or for worst. If you like to
take risk and dare for challenges, you will get along with him fine.
He keeps his emotional secretly as if hiding it, so you will not be
able to see if he crazy in love with you, or does not give a damn at
all, but be calm and patient.

He will never leave you if he thinks you are a puzzle, then he will
spent times solving this puzzle."

These are things I've noticed, it's why I can't be in relationships, I think I've realised now. Hmmmm

Although I don't believe in astrology I do come under this particular sign. And I would say that it is 90% perhaps even 100% accurate most of the time. I also know of two other Geminis and they display the exact same Gemini traits as myself, especially concerning language and having nervous energy, two strong Gemini traits. I may also say that they are both pretty to look at as well, but they cannot keep hold of a relationship with someone for very long. I worked with a Gemini once, and we never got on. She could speak several languages fluently, and she was so busy all the time; that nervous energy again.

Although other people under other signs also display the same Gemini traits, I have noticed that they are not nearly as pronounced as they are in Geminis. The mercurial personality type seems to be more pronounced with Geminis.

My grandad is a Gemini and so is my new baby cousin. I don't believe in these horoscope things 100% but I feel like the descriptions are quite accurate. I'm a Leo, loving attention and drama

I used to not believe in zodiac signs at all, and then within two times of meeting me my best friend guessed I was Aquarius. That kind of shocked me.

Quite a high proportion of my friends are Aquarians - my best mate as mentioned above, and my ex as well. I also have a lot in the next star sign along.

I guess that unless we survey all people in the world born under a star sign, we will never know how far the Forer effect applies. It would seem that people born under Gemini have a knack with language, for example. Now, people not born under this sign may also have a knack with language - but how many people not born under the Gemini sign don't have a knack with language compared to those that are born under that sign? From personal experience a lot of people born in the same month as me (Gemini) display the usual Gemini traits in-full, whereas those born under a different sign (say pisces) only display one or two of the Gemini traits. I guess we will never be able to find out.

I'm not a believer in astrology myself. I think they're written purposely to be ambiguous with the effect of applying somewhat even a little bit to everyone under that start sign to make them appear genuine.

How do we account for the fact that people born under a particular zodiac sign display all the traits of that sign despite the fact that people born under a different zodiac sign don't?

Not a fact, since everything we can argue on here is vague, subjective, and, as you said yourself, based on personal experience.
Your observation that

a lot of people born in the same month as me (Gemini) display the usual Gemini traits in-full

is legitimate, but that's not at all enough evidence to generalize this particular observation or project it onto "all geminis" in the world. You said it yourself.
Plus, to see if Geminis have "the usual Gemini traits", we would first need to define that term "Gemini traits", and thus have a universal and definite reference source. Or compare a large number of the sources available and list those traits that appear in all of them, but most of the sources are so vaguely written that you could interpret them in several ways.
So as you said, we will never know.

Other than that, I'm not sure if you would also identify with that description posted if you didn't know what zodiac sign is described. We can't prove it, but we can't prove the opposite, can we.

We'll that zodiac above describes anyone that comes under it as a "fast person" Now that could mean many many things. Fast at running? Fast at speaking? Fast at getting work done? Fast at walking? Everyone probably feels that they can be fast at something, and so they read that, and think oh yes that relates to me because I am a fast runner. Also I take it no two star signs can be the same right? Otherwise whats the point? So therefore only people of that start sign can be fast? Well what about Usain Bolt. He's fast. I'm pretty fast at writing and I'm a Taurus. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Seems like a failed attempt to big ones' self up.
