According to psychologists, this idea of temporarily switching personalities is called “masking”. That is hiding your true personality in specific situations. “Human beings want to feel they belong, and they might become people-pleasers to do so,” wrote the MasterClass website.
心理学家透露，这种短暂的人格切换是一种“伪装”——在特定的情形下隐藏真正的人格。MasterClass网站上写道：“人们会经由市欢别人来获得归属感。”
Using the MBTI result to identify and describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I went too far at one time. My sister was excitedly making a day-to-day travel plan when I remembered from an article that “P people” don’t like to make or stick to plans, so I said to her, “You don’t seem like a ‘P person’.” “Why?” she asked back. “Since when do I need to follow what my personality test tells me to do?” It was then I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.
固然用MBTI开启话题的确很有趣，但有时候，做得偏激了也会作对。有一次，小编的姐姐正兴致勃勃地制订旅行规划，小编随口说了一句：“你这看起来可不像‘P人’”（据说“P人”一样喜欢随性出游，而不是按规划干事）。究竟姐姐反问道：“岂非必然要按照MBTI干事？”那时我才意识到我太甚于在意这件事了。
