Learn about Personality

What is personality？ How does knowledge about personality help us？

First of all， let us take a look at what personality means. In general， when psychologists（心理学家） talked about personality， they are usually looking for things that make a person different from others or things that can explain how a person is not the same as others. Psychologists often use tests to put people in categories and compare them to explain what personality is. For example， people who are quiet and like to spend more time at home reading and doing their own things are called introverts（性格内向的人）. Others who enjoy going out and spend time with other people are called extroverts. Are you an introvert or extrovert？

Second， how can knowledge of personality help us？ Well， one of the ways is that by knowing how people behave（表现） and why they behave in a certain way， we can understand them better. This will help to make our relationship with them stronger. For example， if we know that someone is an introvert， we will understand why he or she does not feel comfortable when he or she is with a big group of newly met people. We may then help this person to make friends and talk to others.

Another way knowledge of personality can help us is when we want to improve ourselves. If we know what personality type we belong to and the reasons why we behave the way we do， we can then try to change some of the bad things so that they can become good.
