创造型天才与精神病者共同之处多？

According to conventional wisdom the line between genius and madness is a very thin one. Now a study suggests the line may be even more blurred than previously thought.
传统观点认为天才和疯子只有一线之隔。如今有研究显示他们之间的界限比以前更模糊了。

The study, conducted by psychologists at De La Salle University in Manila, found creative people are indeed flawed.
由马尼拉德拉萨大学的心理学家们开展的研究表明，创造型天才其实是有缺陷的。

According to the research led by Adrianne John Galang they are more likely to display antisocial traits such as dishonesty and risk taking.
根据阿德里安娜•约翰•加朗带头开展的调查，他们更容易展现出像欺诈和冒险这样的反社会特性。

Huffington Post reported that 503 participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire which could pick up individuals with psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies. A second study looked for indications of disinhibition, boldness and meanness among 250 college students.
《赫芬顿邮报》报道称，有503位参与者填写了一份能找出精神病和自恋者的问卷。第二次研究则是在250位大学生中寻找抑制解除，冒失和吝啬的适应症。

The third study, involving 93 participants, tracked levels of excitement during gambling exercises from the amount of electricity conducted by their skin.
第三次研究，则是在赌博游戏中，通过对93名参与者的皮肤进行电流测试，来追踪他们的兴奋程度。

According to the results, which were published in Personality and Individual Differences journal, psycopathic boldness is integral to some creative personalities.
发表在《个性与个体差异》杂志上的结果显示，精神病者冒失的特性是创造性人格产生的必要条件。

Creative people were found to show more psychopathic traits, such as boldness, the researchers concluded.
研究者总结道：创造型的人会表现出更多的像冒失这样的精神病者的特性。

“Generally then, a creative field might not just shape a person into a more arrogant or dishonest personality, it might be actively selecting them, not for the sake of having disagreeable traits, but because such traits meaningfully co-vary with creativity itself.”
“总体来说，创造性不会只把人塑造成自大或虚伪的人格，它会活跃的进行选择，不是为了有一个不讨喜的性格，而是因为这样的性格会随着创造力一起变化。”
