Every person feels the same basic emotions, such as fear, happiness, anxiety and pain, yet each responds to them individually. When Kara's grandmother died, for example, her sorrow was expressed through tears. Another person might show the same kind of sorrow in a quiet, reflective way. Similarly, when you hear a piece of good news, you may jump up with joy and may immediately decide to throw a party for your classmates and friends to share your happiness and joy; another person may just keep the good news to himself or herself and just enjoy the happiness secretly. As you observe how people handle their emotions, you start to form a picture of this part of their personality.
雖然每個人對基本情緒的感受都是一樣的，譬如恐懼、幸福、憂慮和痛苦，但每個人對這些情感的反應都不一樣。例如，當卡拉的祖母去世時，她以哭泣表達她的哀痛；其他人卻可能以靜默、沉思的方式寄托哀思。同樣，聽到一個好消息時，你也許會高興得跳起來，立刻決定舉辦一個聚會，與同學和朋友分享你的幸福和喜悅；其他人則可能不和別人分享這個消息，只是獨自品味快樂。當你觀察一個人怎么處理他的情感時，你將會對他在這一方面的個性有所了解。
People are also different in how they relate to others. This reveals the social side of their personality, and there are plenty of variations. Some people prefer the company of others rather than being alone. We say they are sociable. Others are just the opposite. Most people want some combination of the two.
人們也以不同的方式與他人交往。這是人們的個性在社交方面的體現(xiàn)，其表現(xiàn)形式多種多樣。有些人比較喜歡與人為伴而不喜歡獨處，我們說他們是社交型的；還有些人則正好相反；大多數(shù)人都希望自己的性格是二者的綜合。
