Discussion Personality Types Around the World

3 IFor thousands of years, humans have been searching for ways to explain personality. A common way
Grammar
to do this has been to define personality types. The way people have explained personality types varies
around the world.

In East Asia, especially Japan, people believe that their blood type—A, B, AB,
4I Listening
or O—determines their personality. Type A personalities are supposed to
be patient and sensible, though they can be stubborn. Type B personalities
are passionate and creative, though sometimes irresponsible. The type AB
personality is considered rational, social, and perhaps indecisive. Type O

Another way East Asians describe personalities is by their Chinese
zodiac symbol. The Chinese calendar has 12 years in a cycle, and each
6 Iyear is represented by an animal. The month youPair

your energy, and the day of your birth represents your true nature.

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that there were four

associated with one of the four elements: air,

National Personality Types


Many people believe that there are national personality types that people from the same country share.
According to Professor Geert Hofstede, a researcher who has studied different business cultures for
many years, there are six dimensions of national culture. While all six dimensions are found in every
national culture, their emphasis differs from country to country.
Individualism
One dimension of national culture is how people focus on themselves rather than on the needs of a
social group. People in some countries, such as the U.S., are supposed to take care of themselves.
However, in other countries, people look after their social group and cooperate with one another.
Conformity
In some countries, it is very important that people act in a certain way. People in these countries are very
Pair and
strict whenShare
others don’t follow or conform to the rules of behavior. They are not very tolerant of people
who think or act differently. Other countries tend to accept different ideas and behavior.
Power
Pair
Howand
powerShare
is divided among members in a nation is
another dimension that Hofstede mentions. In certain
countries, both leaders and followers expect that power
and authority is not equally shared. In other countries,
people may challenge authority and try to have a
balance of power.
Achievement
Hofstede claims that in some nations people are very
competitive. From a young age, they learn that success
means being the best and achieving great things. In other
countries, it is less important to stand out and more important to care for others and have a good quality of life.
Indulgence
In some societies, people feel free to indulge in activities that make them happy. In other countries, however,
people are more likely to control their personal desires and emotions.
Adaptability
Another dimension of national culture is how open a society is to adapt and change. Some cultures hold on to
tradition and do not accept change easily. Other societies see change as necessary in order to develop.
Here are examples of how two of these dimensions explain differences between Indonesians and Americans.

10 Unit 1
Americans and Indonesians
1 I Individualism Get Ready Pair
Indonesians are very loyal to their socialand Share
groups. This is clear in family relationships. For
example, if a young couple wishes to get married, it is very important to have acceptance from their
families. Americans, however, are used to being independent and making their own decisions. A young
American couple may decide to get married without involving their families.
2I Vocabulary
Power The classroom is another place where these differences are seen. In Indonesia, children are
expected to be quiet in the classroom and not to ask questions. Asking questions is seen as threatening
and as disrespectful of the teacher. This shows us that Indonesians believe power to be unequally
3 Ishared. In contrast, Grammar
American students are encouraged to ask questions. While it’s not acceptable to
challenge their teacher’s authority, American students will ask questions to learn more.

After Reading
4 Listening
IC. Read the statements. Which country do you think the speakers are from: Indonesia or
America? Write the answers.

3 Grammar
Iintelligence is the ability to understand concepts and learn from
experience. An Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test measures these things. If
you have a capacity to learn easily and are good at solving problems,
you probably have a high IQ.
4I Listening
But IQ is only one part of intelligence. Another part, according to Dr. Daniel Goleman, is an Emotional
Quotient (EQ). Emotional intelligence is the ability to adapt to new situations. Successful people often
have a high EQ because they have the right attitude. They get along with different people.

Characteristics of Intelligent People
Is intelligence an aptitude or an attitude? We know that intelligence is the capacity to understand
concepts and to learn from experience. But what about geniuses? What makes highly intelligent people
different from others? If we think about some very intelligent people, such as Albert Einstein, Marie Curie,
or more recently, Steve Jobs, we can better understand what a genius is.

In the first place, very intelligent people understand what is important and what is not. They focus more
on the principal ideas and less on the small details. They don’t lose sight of the important things.

Another characteristic of geniuses is their ability to separate their emotions and their thinking. They can
isolate problems and solve them quickly and unemotionally. They don’t give up easily if something is
difficult.

A third

characteristic
same things in the same way. They are always looking for ways to improve their products or processes.
A good example of this characteristic is Steve Jobs. He was never satisfied, and he wanted to make his
inventions better.
Pair and Share
Very intelligent people get their ideas from many different fields. They can use concepts from other
areas and combine them to create something new or better. Marie Curie, for example, did work in physics
and chemistry but also contributed to medicine. Many times, geniuses connect ideas in ways that other
people wouldn’t think of. They are creative and innovative.

People of superior intelligence usually have a lot of energy and like to work hard. It is easy for them to
concentrate on a problem for a long period of time. But possibly the most important characteristic of
highly intelligent people is that they never give up. Einstein is a good example. He spent almost ten years
working on his theory of relativity.

1I Get Ready Pair and Share
Additionally, very intelligent people are curious. They like to observe, and they ask questions. They have
excellent memories. Some geniuses like to spend time just thinking about things. They sometimes like
to be alone to reflect. Because of this, people often believe that geniuses are lonely or don’t have good

Summer Jobs
Have you ever thought about working during your summer vacation? Today’s students find that
working provides them the skills and attitudes they need to excel in the future. You not only make
some extra money, but you also have the opportunity to learn new things, become more responsible,
and meet people. You gain experience that will be important in the future. We interviewed three
college students—Penny, Mike, and Roberto—about their summer jobs. They had very different
experiences, but they all would recommend that a summer job is immensely beneficial for students.

My name is Penny. Last summer, I worked at a nearby shopping mall. I decided to work in a mall because
my friends and I shop there a lot, and I want to become a fashion designer. My job was at a clothing

and there were other kids working there, too. I didn’t like that some of the customers were difficult,

It Takes All Kinds


Did you ever notice how many different kinds of people there are in this world? Think about the various
personalities of people in your college, at work, at school, on your tennis team, at the last party you attended,
or even in your own family.

Shy or Outgoing?
Some people are very shy in social situations, especially at parties. It is difficult for them to meet people
they don’t know and start conversations. They may not join a group and prefer to remain in a corner by
themselves just watching others having fun. But then there are other people who are very outgoing. They
are confident and eager to join in with any group of people, whether they have ever met them or not. At
parties they introduce themselves to others and engage in conversation. Thank goodness, for people like
this, otherwise parties wouldn’t be any fun!

Optimistic or Pessimistic?
Do you know people who are always positive about life, whether things are going well or not? They think the
future is bright and that everything will work out just fine. They remain cheerful and hopeful. But then there
are always people who see the glass as half empty. They don’t find much joy in life. To them the future is
filled with difficulties.

Patient or Short-tempered?
Are you able to put up with suffering, pain, trouble, or delay without getting angry or upset? Then you are a
patient person. The world needs more people like you!

5 UNIT 1 PERSONALITY
But many people are short-tempered and lose their patience quickly. They yell when they encounter
difficulties or experience pain. They become very angry and impatient when they have to wait in a long line
to do something such as buying clothes in a department store or getting on a plane in a busy airport. They
are not much fun to be Get
aroundReady
when they behave like that.

One or the Other? Or Maybe a Mix of Both?


What kind of personality do you have? Shy or outgoing? Optimistic or negative? Patient or short-tempered?
Maybe you are neitherVocabulary
of these extreme personality types. Maybe you are sometimes shy, other times
outgoing, sometimes optimistic, other times negative, and sometimes patient, other times short-tempered. Most
people tend to be more of one or the other of these personality types, but are sometimes a mixture of both.

Before Reading Writing
A. Look at the pictures and answer the questions.

2. What do you know about experiments?

B. Read the text. Underline the key ideas to include in a summary.

A Field of Inquiry
Do you want to know more about the world around you? Are you curious about how and why things work?
If you answered yes to these questions, the field of science might be right for you!

To become a scientist you need to acquire basic skills and knowledge, or an understanding of essential
ideas and concepts. But an aptitude for science also includes having a scientific attitude. Dimensions of the
scientific attitude are varied but include open-mindedness, respect for evidence, a questioning mind, and a
willingness to change opinions. In other words, scientists have to be willing to ask many questions, reflect on
pros and cons, challenge theories, collect as much evidence as possible to support or contradict theories,
and report evidence even when it contradicts their own hypotheses.

Scientists use the scientific method to design experiments. The steps include doing research and making
observations to form questions, forming theories of what results will be (hypotheses), testing hypotheses,
and making deductions to construct scientific conclusions. Conclusions include a summary of the
experiments, the results, and whether they matched the original hypotheses.

But what if the results of scientific experiments don’t match the hypotheses? Actually, no hypothesis is
proved with a single experiment! Scientists need to retest to make sure they didn’t make errors. If, after
retesting, the results don’t match their hypothesis, then it’s back to the drawing board.

Scientific inquiry requires determination, passion, and patience. Do you have the capacity for such a
demanding field of inquiry?

Model
Meet Tanya, an international model. Tanya wakes

television shoot in Amsterdam. Today, she will be
modeling designer outfits for a runway fashion
show. All the big fashion designers will be there.
First, she has an appointment with her makeup artist
and then her hair stylist. Later, after walking down
the runway elegantly for several hours, Tanya will
attend a party. People believe it’s just a glamorous
job, but it can often be tiring. What is true is that
many may get the chance to enter but just a few will
remain. It’s certainly not easy to be a model.

and often travels long distances to meet informants.
Jeraldo also gathers information from government reports, lawsuits, and public databases. He often
spends a few months or sometimes even years researching and writing a feature. His job is interesting—
and, at times, dangerous since he investigates high-profile criminals. But he doesn’t regret it. He gets
excited each time a new case comes into his hands.

Farmer
Meet Jackson, a dairy farmer. He owns a farm with 50 cows. He gets up at 5 a.m. and leads the cows from
the paddocks into the milking shed. After milking, Jackson feeds the cows and lets them out to graze in
the fields. Then he does various farm chores such as repairing fences or machinery. At 2 p.m., it is time for
another milking, so he herds the cows back into the milking shed. After that, he meets with a vet who comes
to check on the cows’ health. At 5 p.m., Jackson works on the computer, purchasing supplies and doing
some financial planning. Planning and organization are necessary skills if you want to be a successful farmer
like Jackson.
