I had a consulting contract I shared with a colleague who's as different from me as two people can possibly be.

我跟一名同事共同,负责一项咨询业务,我跟他是截然不同的两个人。

First, his name is Tom. Mine isn't.

首先,他叫汤姆。我不叫汤姆。

Secondly, he's six foot five. I have a tendency not to be.

其次,他身高1米96。我这辈子是不指望了。

And thirdly, he's as extroverted a person as you could find. I am seriously introverted.

第三点,他是个及其外向的人。而我十分内向。

I overload so much, I can't even have a cup of coffee after three in the afternoon and expect to sleep in the evening.

我心思很重,我要是下午三点之后喝了杯咖啡,那晚上就别想睡了。

We had seconded to this project a fellow called Michael.

我们还有一个助手,叫麦克。

And Michael almost brought the project to a crashing halt.

麦克几乎把整个项目给搞砸了。

So the person who seconded him asked Tom and me,

麦克的继任者问我和汤姆,

"What do you make of Michael?"

“你们怎么评价麦克?”

Well, I'll tell you what Tom said in a minute. He spoke in classic "extrovert-ese."

我稍后再告诉你汤姆是怎么说的。他的回答是非常典型的外向型。

And here is how extroverted ears heard what I said, which is actually pretty accurate.

而我的回答嘛,其实在外向者听来应该是非常精确的。

I said, "Well Michael does have a tendency at times of behaving in a way that some of us might see

我说,“其实,麦克有时候的一些做法,在我们某些人看来

as perhaps more assertive than is normally called for."

也许过于自信了,可能有时候有点过分。”

Tom rolled his eyes and he said,

汤姆翻了个白眼说,

"Brian, that's what I said: he's an asshole!"

“布莱恩,这不就是我刚刚说的:他就是个混蛋!”

我是谁? 我真的了解自己吗? 心理学上常用一些性格特征给我们定义和分类, 本期TED演讲者Brian Little博士将为大家分享他在心理学领域的研究发现,帮助我们更清晰的认识自己,同时认识他人。
