What did you study at university? If it was something along the lines of law or business, you might want to look away now. That’s because according to new research, which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, you’re probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest.
Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between the "Big Five" major personality traits and the subjects they were enrolled on.
For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects, the study found. But when it came to "agreeableness"—the tendency towards being helpful, generous and considerate—the lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students.
Arts and humanities students, as well as those studying psychology and politics scored highly for openness, meaning they were curious, imaginative and in touch with their inner feelings, while economists, engineers, lawyers and scientists scored comparatively low. However, the arts and humanities students also tended to be less conscientious and more nervous, typically exhibiting signs of anxiety and moodiness. Psychology students were not far behind arts and humanities students for these traits.
Study author Anna Vedel, from the University of Aarhus in Denmark, said she was surprised by the results. " The effect sizes show that the differences found are not trivial, far from," she said. "On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist. "
And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as well as helping academics to plan their lectures. "I’m not arguing that these results should play a major role in either guidance or selection, but it might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt about study choices and want to make a choice based on more than abilities, for example," said Dr Vedel. "Or teachers might better understand their student population. "
The word "conscientious" (Para.4) probably means "________".
选项
A、moody
B、sensitive
C、curious
D、careful
答案
D
解析
辨析题。题目问的是第四段的conscientious是什么意思。四个答案的意思分别是moody“忧郁的”;sensitive“敏感的”;curious“好奇的”;careful“小心的,谨慎的”。原句中说less conscientious and more nervous,说明这个词的意思与nervous“紧张的”是反义,又说nervous会表现出anxiety(焦虑)和moodiness(忧郁)情绪,因此和这几个意思相关的词语都可以排除。综上所述,只有D正确,故选D。
