“性格决定命运”、“性格决定成败”、“性格决定人生”……这样的话,你一定听过不少吧?对于影响性格的因素,生肖、星座、掌纹的说法早就不新鲜啦。现在最吸引眼球的是一股关于血型与性格关系的风潮。究竟“血型决定性格”有多准,我们不好说,但是相信很多人渴望了解自己的性格都是为了完善自我,从而更好地生活和工作。“性格影响职业”就是很好的例子——想有一个璀璨的人生,找一份适合自己的工作,不妨先来探讨一下自己的性格吧。
Your Blood Type Tells All?
In Japan, “What’s your type?” is much more than small talk; it can be a 1)paramount question in everything from matchmaking to getting a job.
By type, the Japanese mean blood type, and no amount of scientific 2)debunking can kill a widely held notion that blood tells all.
In the year just ended, four of Japan’s top 10 best-sellers were about how blood type determines personality. The series—one each for types B, O, A, and AB—has combined sales of well over five million copies.
As defined by the books, type As are sensitive 3)perfectionists but overanxious; type Bs are cheerful but 4)eccentric and selfish; Os are curious, generous but 5)stubborn; and ABs are arty but mysterious and 6)unpredictable.
All that may sound like a 7)horoscope, but the public doesn’t seem to care.
Even Prime Minister Taro Aso seems to consider it important enough to reveal in his official profile on the Web. He’s an A. His rival, 8)opposition leader Ichiro Ozawa, is a B. Matchmaking agencies provide blood-type 9)compatibility tests, and some companies make decisions about 10)assignments based on employees’ blood types.
Does Your Career Fit Your Personality?
Everyone knows how hard it is to get along with others when there’s a personality 11)clash—so imagine how hard it is to be happy in a career that does the same thing.
Similar to when you’re looking for a mate, you want to find a career that 12)complements your character, not conflicts with it. For example, if you’re active and outgoing, you might not do well sitting behind a desk all day. 13)By the same token, if you’re shy and soft-spoken, you might not do well in a job that requires a lot of social 14)interaction, and if you like working alone, you wouldn’t thrive in a team setting.
Here we have six personality groups that seem to 15)encompass the majority of people. From there, we’ve listed what jobs might best fit your needs.
Personality: 16)Artistic
What you’re like: Artistic personalities are creative by nature, with imaginations that stretch further than others can 17)conceive. These people like to express themselves through their work 18)versus completing structured tasks. They like to work without rules, and enjoy working with forms, designs, colors, words and patterns.
Job matches: editor ($47,811), graphic designer ($48,891), high school drama teacher ($52,856), landscape architect ($53,241), perfumer ($21,791), producer ($79,310).
Personality: 19)Conventional
What you’re like: Conventional people like conventional things: rules, procedures, schedules and instructions are all things that appeal to them. They prefer working with details and data versus ideas; they are practical and like routine and order.
Job matches: accountant ($46,171), 20)actuary ($97,354), building inspector ($47,735), cost estimator ($53,413), financial planner ($63,837), technical writer ($55,747).
Personality: Enterprising
What you’re like: Enterprising people are leaders. They like to see projects through from start to finish, business ventures in particular. They are doers more than thinkers and are more interested in the “big picture” than the small pieces that make it up.
Job matches: advertising sales agent ($39,103), financial officer ($77,019), management analyst ($63,610), program director ($48,382), sales representative ($44,784), sales manager ($85,091).
Personality: 21)Investigative
What you’re like: Investigative people prefer to work alone. They like using logic over imagination, solving problems and mysteries, putting together pieces of a puzzle, 22)precision and science, and they pay extreme attention to detail.
Job matches: computer systems analyst ($61,549), librarian ($48,025), 23)optometrist ($95,058), science professor ($73,532), software engineer ($75,850),24)statistician ($59,830).
Personality: Realistic
What you’re like: True to their name, realists are...well, realistic. They are results-driven, hands-on people who like problems and solutions. They like working outdoors, as well as with machines, tools and jewelry.
Job matches: 25)diagnostic medical 26)sonographer ($56,603), electrician ($35,158), highway patrol pilot ($69,098), 27)locksmith ($34,148), nuclear engineer ($84,044), 28)orthodontist ($271,373).
Personality: Social
What you’re like: Social people like helping others and working with teams. They communicate well and thrive on human interaction, and they’d rather talk than work with machines or data. The best jobs for them are ones that let them be with other people.
Job matches: family 29)practitioner ($160,264), personal coach ($64,523), school psychologist ($49,622), student affairs director ($71,093), teacher ($44,137).
血型决定性格?
在日本,“你是什么型?”这句话并不仅仅是闲聊的话题。从找对象到找工作,这个问题可能在各种各样的事情上都至关重要。
这个“型”,日本人指的是血型,再多的科学解密也无法阻止“血型表明一切”这种观念的广为流传。
在刚刚过去的一年里,日本前十位的畅销书中就有四本是讲述血型如何决定性格的。这一系列的书——每本讲一种血型:B型、O型、A型和AB型——总计销量远超五百万本。
就如书上所说,A型的人是敏感的完美主义者,但却过分焦虑;B型的人乐观开朗但又古怪自私;O型的人充满好奇,慷慨大方但固执;而AB型的人很有艺术气质,但神秘而难以捉摸。
所有这些听起来就像是占星术,但公众似乎并不介意。
甚至连日本首相麻生太郎也似乎觉得它很重要,并将自己的血型公布在其官方网页的个人简介中。他是A型。而他的对手,反对党领袖小泽一郎则是B型。婚介机构提供血型匹配测试,有的公司还根据雇员的血型去分配工作任务。
性格影响职业?
大家都清楚,与自己性格不合的人相处是一件很难的事——所以我们可以想象一下,要是职业与性格不适合,要快乐起来该多难啊。
就像寻找伴侣一样,你肯定想找一份跟自己性格相配的职业,而非与自己性格相悖的。举个例子,如果你的性格活跃外向,要你整天坐在办公桌旁工作,你可能会干不好。同样道理,如果你是个害羞和说话轻声细气的人,你也做不好交际协作性强的工作;而如果你喜欢独立工作,在团队合作的工作环境里,你将难以脱颖而出。
我们将按人们的性格特征分成以下六组,这六组基本能涵盖大部分人的性格。我们从中列出了可能与你的性格最匹配的工作。
性格:艺术型
你的特点:艺术型性格的人天生富创造力,想像力远比其他人丰富。这类人反感结构化的任务,喜欢通过自己的作品来表现自己。他们不喜欢拘泥于有条条框框限制的工作,喜欢与表格、设计、颜色、文字和图案打交道。
适合职业:编辑(47811美元)、平面设计师(48891美元)、中学戏剧教师(52,856美元)、园林建筑师(53,241美元)、香水调配师(21,791美元)电影制片人(79,310美元)。
性格:保守型
你的特点:保守型的人喜欢常规事物:规则、程序、计划和指示对他们极有吸引力。他们喜欢跟细节和数据打交道而不是想法;他们非常实际,喜欢常规和指令。
适合职业:会计师(46171美元)、精算师(97354美元)、建筑评估师(47735美元)、成本预算师(53413美元)、财务策划师(63837美元)、技术文档工程师(55747美元)。
性格:事业型
你的特点:事业型的人适合当领导。他们喜欢从头到尾地跟进整个项目,尤其是商业项目。他们实干多于空想,不拘小节,有“大局”观。
适合职业:广告销售代理(39103美元)、财务官员(77019美元)、管理分析师(63610美元)、项目主任(48382美元)、销售代表(44784美元)、销售经理(85091美元)。
性格:研究型
你的特点:研究型的人喜欢单独工作。他们喜欢运用逻辑多于想象,喜欢解决问题,解开谜团,喜欢将零碎片段重新组合在一起,喜欢精确数据和科学,他们还极为注重细节。
适合职业:计算机系统分析师(61549美元)、图书馆管理员(48025美元)、验光师(95058美元)、理科教授(73532美元)、软件工程师(75850美元)、统计员(59830美元)。
性格:现实型
你的特点:人如其名,现实主义者……非常现实。他们做事目的性很强,凡事喜欢亲力亲为,喜欢发现问题和解决问题。他们喜欢在户外工作,也喜欢跟机器、工具和珠宝打交道。
适合职业:医学超声波诊断师(56603美元)、电工(35158美元)、高速公路巡逻员(69098美元)、锁匠(34148美元)、核能工程师(84044美元)、牙齿矫形医师(271373美元)。
性格:社交型
你的特点:社交型的人以助人为乐,也喜欢团队工作。他们拥有很强的沟通协作能力,比起与机器或数据打交道,他们更喜欢与人沟通。对他们而言,最理想的职业就是那种能够和别人合作的工作。
适合职业:家庭医生(160264美元)、私人教练(64523美元)、学校心理辅导员(49622美元)、学务主任(71093美元)、教师(44137美元)。
