I’m inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me and also made me the victim of not a few veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to this quality when it appears in a normal person.

When you say, "The abnormal mind is quick to detect." It appears to me that you are referring to a certain specific person who has that brain because the word "The" is in a demonstrative form.

Hi, Chess. Thank you!
Can “The abnormal mind” mean a certain specific people? I mean more than one person?
I believe that “the abnormal mind”, “many curious natures” and “not a few veteran bores” are the same people. Is this right?
Thank you!
