新素养 探究学习 What is personality?
Personality is the pattern of feelings, thoughts and behaviour shown through people's lives. It makes them different from others.
Each person's personality is made up of different personality characters such as kindness or shyness. These characters decide how people behave in different situations. For example, if someone shy is served the wrong meal in a restaurant, he probably won't say anything. On the other hand, someone outgoing will probably complain and get the meal he ordered.
Where does your personality come from?
The human brain is like a computer because it controls the human body just as a computer controls a robot.
However, humans aren't robots! We have personalities. The human brain has a special part giving us personality and allowing us to think for ourselves, unlike a computer. This part of the brain is called the mind.
Personality types
Clearly scientists cannot study the mind by looking inside someone's brain! All they would see is blood and grey matter. To study the mind, scientists have to study human behaviour. This includes watching people carefully and organizing personality tests like this one:
1. Do you think you're pretty or good-looking?
2. Would you rather read a book or go to a party?
3. Do you have a large group of friends or just one or two close friends?
4. Do you mind talking in public or does it scare you?
5. Are you messy or neat?
6. Do you plan your work well or do you do things at the last minute?
Scientists believe that answers to these types of questions tell us something about a person's personality characters. After asking thousands of people thousands of questions, they've found that some personality characters seem to go together. This has led scientists to believe that there're certain personality types. For example, shy people are often quiet. They have an introverted (内向的) personality type. The opposite is an extroverted(外向的) personality type—people who are outgoing, talkative and like being around other people.
