在社交方面你对其他人敏感吗？--个人测验
How good are you at reading other people’s feelings? And does this vary with gender – both theirs and yours? To find out, read the vignette below.
你有多擅长读解他人的情绪呢？这种情绪会因为你和别人的性别不同而不同吗？想要发现背后的答案，读读下面的小短文吧！
Sandra is hosting a dinner party. Cliff arrives first and the two enjoy talking about his recent holiday to Sweden. But then Michael turns up. He dominates the conversation and talks only to Sandra, showing off with a story designed to make himself look good. Sandra is a bit annoyed by this. She looks at Cliff, then asks Michael if he’s ever been to Sweden.
Sandra办了一个晚间party。Cliff第一个到了，他们开心地聊起Cliff在瑞典的假期。但此时，MIchael出现了，他加入了本次谈话，但只和Sandra聊，秀一些让他自我感觉良好的故事。Sandra有点不高兴了。她看向Cliff，然后问Michael他去没去国瑞典。
Why does Sandra ask Michael if he’s ever been to Sweden? (a) to find out if Michael has anything interesting to say about Sweden; (b) to see whether Cliff or Michael has a better Sweden story; (c) she doesn’t believe Cliff’s Sweden story and wants Michael to confirm it; (d) she’s more interested in Sweden than what Michael is talking about; (e) a different reason.
为什么Sandra这么问？a看看Michael有咩有和瑞典相关的有趣事分享；b看看C和M谁有更好的故事；c她不信C的故事，让M证明一下；d她更对瑞典的事感兴趣；e其他
If you said (a), (b), (c) or (d) then – sorry – you’re not a great reader of social interactions. If you said (e), well done! As you realised, Sandra doesn’t care about Sweden, she’s just trying to bring Cliff back into the conversation. Arecent studythat posed 45 questions of this type found not only that women outperform men, but that this was particularly true when the character in question was also female. Furthermore, scores started to decline after 30. So if you want to know what a younger woman is thinking, ask another younger woman – not an old male.
如果你说答案是abcd，对不起，你不是个社交好手，如果你选e，没错！就像你知道的，S其实一点都不关心瑞典的一切，她只是想把C带回到谈话中。最近的一项有45个这类问题的调查发现，女性在社交方面胜过男性，但当这个被讨论的角色是女性的时候，这一点尤其正确。另外，分数在过了30岁的人群中开始下降。所以如果你想知道一个年轻的女性在想什么，问问另一个年轻的姑娘把，而非一个老男人。
叨叨：
喵的，我就选错了呢。我是一个老男人？？？
