 TED 你到底是誰？人格特質的謎團(1) (英文演講稿) 

演講者 Brian Little博士

先約略介紹一下影片內容：

 是甚麼造就了你，是你自己嗎？心理學家喜歡談論我們的特質，或用獨特的性格來定義我們是甚麼樣的人。但小布萊恩（Brian Little）對我們選擇在甚麼時機展現這些特質特別有興趣——有時候是因為我們文化上的需求，有時候是我們自己有需要。小布萊恩闡述了內向的與外向的人的差別，並解釋你的個人特質也許比你想像的還要更有可塑性。

以下為演講內容：

 (0:12) What an intriguing group of individuals you are ... to a psychologist.

(0:19) I've had the opportunity over the last couple of days of listening in on some of your conversations and watching you interact with each other. And I think it's fair to say, already, that there are 47 people in this audience, at this moment, displaying psychological symptoms I would like to discuss today.

(0:43)  And I thought you might like to know who you are.

(0:48) But instead of pointing at you, which would be gratuitous and intrusive, I thought I would tell you a few facts and stories, in which you may catch a glimpse of yourself.

(1:01) I'm in the field of research known as personality psychology, which is part of a larger personality science which spans the full spectrum, from neurons to narratives. And what we try to do, in our own way, is to make sense of how each of us -- each of you -- is, in certain respects, like all other people, like some other people and like no other person.

(1:33) Now, already you may be saying of yourself, "I'm not intriguing. I am the 46th most boring person in the Western Hemisphere." Or you may say of yourself, "I am intriguing, even if I am regarded by most people as a great, thundering twit."
