问题     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"On the more humorous side they do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist.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. "
Anna Vedel stated that the research________.
选项 A、confirmed the link between personality and profession
B、showed that the differences were far from significant
C、was not reliable because of its prejudicial observation
D、did not have enough samples to support its findings
答案A
解析 归纳题。题目问的是安娜·韦德尔认为这项研究 。第二段中提到“研究者发现在‘五大’主要性格和学生所上专业之间存在着某种关联，”即选项A；第五段中提到“研究范围之广表明这些差异并不是细微的，而是巨大的。”这和选项B相反；同样第五段中，“这些差异多多少少证明了人们对于扰人的心理学家、胆小的自然科学家和愤世嫉俗的经济学家这种偏见性的固有印象”。这和选项C意思相反；第二段中说“通过对涉及12个专业超过13000个大学生的数据分析”，说明采样范围很广，人数众多，与选项D相反。故选A。
