Is that right with you? Tapescripts 大连理工大学出版社 Tapescripts The way people hold the phone says a lot about their personality, according to a survey. Five distinct personality types have been uncovered by British psychologist Sandy Gaskins in a poll of 1,000 people. Of those surveyed 560 people were described as naturals which meant they held the phone in their primary hand to their primary ear. Dr. Gaskins says this shows a confidence, straightforward person who enjoys speaking to people. There were 172 people who stood up while talking on the phone, known as the general. This person is said to be forthright and focused and of few words. A further 148 cradled the phone on their shoulder, suggesting a person who wants both hands free. The survey said this type of person prioritizes tasks quickly and is always thinking two steps ahead. Just 64 people held the phone to the opposite ear, known as the tortoise, which suggests the person lacks confidence and may have low self-esteem. And 56 people talk on the phone with their arm wrapped over their head, usually indicating the caller is relaxed and laid back. 大连理工大学出版社 Part IV Listen and Speak More substantial a. large in amount; considerable 大量的;实质上的 bathrobe n. loose, usu. toweling, garment worn before and after taking a bath 睡衣 pajamas n. loose-fitting jacket and trousers worn for sleeping in, esp. by men 睡衣;宽长裤 tendency n.
