2012-12-03来源:和谐英语
4. Select one statement that reflects the viewpoint most like yours. Then, from the remaining choices, select the one statement that least reflects your viewpoint.
4. 从以下选项中选择最能反映你观点的一句话。然后从剩余的选项中选出最不符合你观点的一句话。

A. I don't necessarily need to define and control the agenda.
A.我不是非得规定和控制议程。

B. It's almost never necessary to hurt other people's feelings.
B.伤害他人的感情基本毫无必要。

C. I'm usually the first person to strike up a conversation with strangers.
C.我通常是最先与陌生人攀谈的人。

D. I would never step over others in order to ensure my own success.
D.我绝不会踩着别人来保证自己获得成功。

This question, from the Caliper Profile, measures someone's need to be controlling (A), as well as their sensitivity (B), gregariousness (C) and aggressiveness (D). The assessment, published by Caliper Corp., compares groupings of 23 personality traits. While some people may be deemed more sensitive than aggressive, based on their responses to this question, that doesn't mean they're pushovers. Other statements may reveal those same people are more aggressive than they are self-disciplined. 'It's all relative,' says Herb Greenberg, Caliper's founder and chief executive, and certain traits will be more important for certain jobs.
这道测试题选自Caliper Profile,它测试的是答题者的(A)控制欲、(B)情感敏感度、(C)合群程度以及(D)强势性格。由Caliper公司发布的Caliper Profile评测对23种分组的性格特点进行了比较。根据答题者对这道题的回答,有些人可能会被认为更加敏感而不够强势,但这并不代表他们就是软弱之人。选择其他选项可能表示这些人更加强势而自我约束能力不强。Caliper公司的创始人兼首席执行长赫布·格林伯格(Herb Greenberg)指出,这都是相对的,而且某些特质在特定的工作岗位中更加重要。

5. True or false: I do many things better than almost everyone I know.
5. 是非题:“很多事情我都做得比我认识的几乎每一个人都要好。”

Responding 'True' to this question from the Hogan Personality Inventory could indicate confidence or arrogance, while a 'False' response conveys humility or insecurity, says Jarrett Shalhoop, senior consultant at Hogan Assessment Systems.
这道题选自Hogan Assessment Systems公司的霍根性格调查表(Hogan Personality Inventory),该公司的高级顾问贾瑞特·夏尔胡普(Jarrett Shalhoop)称,对这道测试题回答“是”可能表明答题者自信或自大,而回答为“否”传达出的则是答题者的谦逊或不安全感。

6. True or false: I don't mind being told what to do.
6. 是非题:“我不介意别人告诉我要做什么。”

Someone saying 'True' may follow directions well, or in the extreme may be incapable of independent action. A 'False' response suggests autonomy, or could indicate the respondent is difficult to manage, Dr. Shalhoop says.
夏尔胡普称,回答为“是”的人或许能够很好地遵照指示,情况特别严重的人可能没有能力独自行动。回答为“否”的人表明其独立,但也有可能表明其人难以管理。

7. Answer the following on a five-point scale, whether it is more true or more false.
7. 下列情况更符合还是更不符合你的实际情况,依照五分制为此评分。

'Is uneasy when receiving praise.'
“受到别人夸奖时总是觉得不安。”

This statement, from the WorkPlace Big Five Profile 4.0, measures humility and pride, helpful in identifying confident, successful salespeople. Pride is important, but humility is valued more in academic or religious settings, says Pierce J. Howard, managing director of research and development at the Center for Applied Cognitive Studies, which created the profile. 'Spit and polish and charm are not going to do it for that sort of audience,' Dr. Howard says.
选自WorkPlace Big Five Profile 4.0的这道题测试的是谦逊或自豪的程度,有助于发掘自信成功的销售人员。设计这份测试资料的应用认知研究中心(Center for Applied Cognitive Studies)的研发总经理皮尔斯dinaJ.霍华德(Pierce J. Howard)称,自豪是一种重要的特质,但是谦逊在学术界或宗教界则更被看重。他说:“对于这方面的受众来说,过分注重仪表和施展魅力不起作用。”
