Technology is also not going to change who you choose to love.
同樣科技也改變不了你的擇偶對象。
I study the biology of personality, and I've come to believe that we've evolved four very broad styles of thinking and behaving,
我研究生物心理學，我開始相信人類已經進化出了四個廣義的思考及行為方式，
linked with the dopamine, serotonin, testosterone and estrogen systems.
和多巴胺、血清素、睪丸激素和雌激素系統相關聯。
So I created a questionnaire directly from brain science to measure the degree to which you express the traits
于是，基于腦科學原理我設計了一份問卷，用來衡量人們表達特征的程度，
the constellation of traits, linked with each of these four brain systems.
各種特征，與這四種大腦系統的關聯性。
I then put that questionnaire on various dating sites in 40 countries.
我在40個國家的各種征婚網站上刊登了這份問卷。
Fourteen million or more people have now taken the questionnaire, and I've been able to watch who's naturally drawn to whom.
目前，已有1400多萬人參與了問卷調查，我有幸可以觀察那些天生相互吸引的人。
And as it turns out, those who were very expressive of the dopamine system tend to be curious, creative, spontaneous, energetic
結果是，那些多巴胺系統反應活躍的人更有好奇心，富有創意，自然率真且精力充沛，
I would imagine there's an awful lot of people like that in this room -- they're drawn to people like themselves.
我想現場在座肯定有很多人屬于這一類型--他們通常被同類人所吸引。
Curious, creative people need people like themselves.
好奇且有創意的人需要和同類在一起。
People who are very expressive of the serotonin system tend to be traditional, conventional, they follow the rules,
那些血清素系統反應活躍的人往往更加傳統，遵循慣例與規則，
they respect authority, they tend to be religious -- religiosity is in the serotonin system -- and traditional people go for traditional people.
尊重權威，他們通常篤信宗教--宗教信仰正屬于血清素系統--傳統派自然找傳統派的人。
In that way, similarity attracts. In the other two cases, opposites attract.
如此一來，是同類相吸，而其他兩種情況則完全相反，對立性才有吸引力。
People very expressive of the testosterone system tend to be analytical, logical, direct, decisive, and they go for their opposite:
睪丸激素系統反應活躍的人，通常善于分析、邏輯思維強、直接、果斷、而他們尋找的是和他們對立的人，
they go for somebody who's high estrogen, somebody who's got very good verbal skills and people skills,
那些雌激素高的人，他們語言能力很強，善于處理人際關系，
who's very intuitive and who's very nurturing and emotionally expressive.
憑直覺行事，善于照顧他人且直抒胸懷。
We have natural patterns of mate choice. Modern technology is not going to change who we choose to love.
人類擇偶有自然模式。現代技術不會改變我們選擇的對象。
