《2025年轻松作业本九年级英语上册译林版》

五、阅读理解。
(2024·昆山一模)“Am I an‘I’ person or an‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.
Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types,which start with the letter “I’’ or “E”,such as “ENTJ”“INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extraversion” while “I” is for “Introversion”. “I'm an‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I'm an‘I’ person. I'd like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions for activities,jobs or even future plans more quickly.
But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an‘I’ or an‘E’ person?”
When you take a personality test,you may think,“Oh,that's me.” That's because the descriptions are common. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people got a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. “Personalities can change with time,and they are not black-or-white,” scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or,you can be both an“I” person and an“E” person. Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people's success in different jobs. So,don't take it too seriously.
