One of the most influential approaches in personality science is known as trait psychology(特质心理学）。
特质心理学通过五个维度对你进行定义，这些也正是人和人之间产生差异的原因。
It aligns you along five dimensions which are normally distributed, and that describe universally held aspects of difference between people.
They spell out the acronym "OCEAN". 这五个维度简称为“OCEAN”。
1. O stands for "open to experience". O的意思是开怀拥抱各种经历
O versus those who are more closed. Openness and conscientiousness are very good predictors of life success, but the open people achieve that success through being audacious.
2. C stands for "conscientiosness". C的意思是有意识地。
C in contrast to those with a more lackadaisical approach to life. The conscientious people achieve it through sticking to deadlines, to persevering, as well as having some passion.
3. E stands for "extroversion". E的意思是外向。
E in contrast to more introverted people. Extroversion and agreeableness are both aonducive to working well with people.
4. A stands for "agreeable individuals". A是指讨好型人格。
A in contrast to those decidedly not agreeable.
5. N stands for neurotic individuals. N为神经质。
N in contrast to those who are more stable.
All of these dimensions have implications for our well-being, for how our life goes.
The extroversion is consequential and intriguing and helps us understand what I call our three natures.
First: Our biogenic nature--our neurophysiology.
我们的生物天性--神经生理学。
Second: Our sociogenic.
我们的社会天性。
Third: What makes you individually--idio syncratic.
决定你的独特性的东西--特质。
One of the things that characterized extroverts is they need stimulation that can be achieved by finding things that are exciting.
The introverts are more likely to spend time in the quite spaces.
We communicate differently, extroverts and introverts.
Extroverts, when they interact, want to have lots of social encounter punctualed by closeness and they prefer black-and-white, concrete, simple language.
Introverts prefer contextually complex, contingent, weasel word sentences.
What makes us different? 是审美让我们与众不同？
It's the doing that we have in our life--the personal project.
是我们生命中的行为举止--事关我们个人生活的东西。
What are the free traits?自由特性是什么？
They're where were enact scipt in order to advance a core project in our lives. They are what matters.
我们生命中的核心关切需要被推动的时候，我们显现出来的特性。
