There is no direct pipeline to your true self” > 38 | New Scientist | 10 December 2022 party observations of behaviour. One group compared people’s self-ratings on their core personality traits with behavioural indicators of each of those traits in a lab environment, and found that there was a reasonably good correlation between self-perceptions and actual behaviour. Similar results have been reported from experiments in real world settings, where researchers measured behaviour using audio recordings of participants’ daily life. “Our self-perceptions do generally predict our behaviour pretty well,” says Lauren Human, a psychologist at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. They also correspond well with the perceptions of people who are close to us, she says. That chimed with my own feedback experience. I used an online version of a test called the Big Five Inventory-2, which is based on a model that psychologists use to assess personality. It divides our personalities into five independent traits: extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to experience and neuroticism and gives you a score out of 100 for each. When I took the test, I scored highly on extroversion (71) and open-mindedness (96), middling on agreeableness (65) and low on neuroticism S O L S T O C K /G E T T Y I M A G E S (48) and conscientiousness (46). When other people’s perceptions of me came trickling in, I was struck by how similar they looked to my own. There were a few differences, of course. On the test, several people rated me higher than I did on extroversion and conscientiousness, for example. A handful of my volunteers very much warmed to their second task, sending a barrage of negative traits they associate with me that aren’t captured in the Big Five scores. Highlights included “strident”, “belligerent”, “intractable” and – from someone we will call Ben because that is his name – the instant classic, “Is there a German word for not letting you get a word in edgeways?” But it’s not as if I wasn’t aware of those traits, even though I can now see that I might have underestimated their extent. So, broadly speaking, the discrepancies between self and others’ perceptions were small enough to make me think I know myself pretty well. Download 0.95 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
