Now, already you may be saying of yourself, "I'm not intriguing.
也許你們會評價自己，“我不是個有趣的人。
I am the 46th most boring person in the Western Hemisphere."
我在西半球最無趣排行榜上排第46名?！?/div>
Or you may say of yourself, "I am intriguing, even if I am regarded by most people as a great, thundering twit."
也許你會評價自己，“我是個有趣的人，盡管大部分人都覺得我是個傻瓜?！?/div>
But it is your self-diagnosed boringness and your inherent "twitiness"
但正是你們這種自我認知的無聊，或者內(nèi)在的“傻”，
that makes me, as a psychologist, really fascinated by you.
讓我這個心理學家覺得非常有趣。
So let me explain why this is so.
我來解釋一下為什么。
One of the most influential approaches in personality science is known as trait psychology,
人格心理學中最有影響力的方法叫做特質(zhì)理論，
and it aligns you along five dimensions which are normally distributed,
它用5個正態(tài)分布的維度判定你，
and that describe universally held aspects of difference between people.
這5個維度描述了被廣泛認同的人與人之間不同的5個方面。
They spell out the acronym OCEAN.
這5個方面的首字母縮寫是OCEAN。
So, "O" stands for "open to experience," versus those who are more closed.
“O”代表“開放性”，與之對立的是那些不愿冒險的人。
"C" stands for "conscientiousness," in contrast to those with a more lackadaisical approach to life.
“C”代表的是“責任感”，與之相反的是那些懶散隨意的人。
"E" -- "extroversion," in contrast to more introverted people.
“E”指的是“外向性”，與之相對的是內(nèi)向的人。
"A" -- "agreeable individuals," in contrast to those decidedly not agreeable.
“A”——“宜人性”，與之相對的是不那么和善的人。
And "N" -- "neurotic individuals," in contrast to those who are more stable.
最后是“N”—— “神經(jīng)質(zhì)”，與之相對的是那些更加穩(wěn)定平和的人。
All of these dimensions have implications for our well-being, for how our life goes.
這5個方面影響我們的健康，影響我們的人生走向。
