Answer to Question 1

Answer: Possible conflicts between appearing likable and appearing competent: women's self-presentational dilemma; projecting modesty may undermine the perception of one's competence because one can't claim both modesty and competence; projecting modesty may prevent the use of the trappings of competence; creating similarity with equals may prevent one from conveying status and power.
Possible conflicts between appearing likable and conveying status and power: women's self-presentation dilemma applies here as well; projecting modesty may prevent the use of the trappings of status and power; projecting modesty may prevent one from claiming associations with powerful or high status individuals.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
