If you’ve taken a personality test before, you know it can be a tedious and frustrating process. The prospect of answering countless and repetitive questions leaves people disengaged—yet these tests continue to be taken by millions every year. However, as new HR technologies emerge, traditional tests seem increasingly out of touch. Why? Because they don’t tap into what we humans are best at: visual processing.
Visual tests are not completely new. Image-based tests like the Rorschach inkblot test (罗夏墨迹测试), which unearths unconscious aspects of the human psyche, have long been used by psychologists to explore personality. The use of images in personality assessments makes them more fun, seamless and engaging, but also has other added benefits.
First, using image-based assessments can reduce test taker fatigue because processing pictures requires less attention than processing text and is much faster. In fact, Potter and colleagues found that the brain can process the complex information within an image in only 13 milliseconds. This is a staggering 60,000 times faster than processing text alone! The reduction in test fatigue can lead to more accurate responses and better completion rates. Second, images not only tap into conscious processes extremely quickly but they also access the unconscious, and elicit faster and stronger preferences. Responses to images are more likely to be definitive. Third, image-based assessments are easier to digest for those who have difficulty reading or understanding text. This should make them more accessible to those with learning difficulties, less education or language barriers. Finally, a stronger reliance on images as opposed to text may be the better approach when trying to understand personality across cultures. Carefully selected images don’t require the kind of fine-tuning across languages and cultures that text requires, and are thus less prone to cultural misunderstandings.
Given the potential benefits of using images in assessment, it isn’t surprising that test designers have begun to use pictures and even videos. Although more work is needed to establish the full validity of the new generation of visual assessments, initial research looks promising. One thing is certain: we must find creative and interesting ways to measure personality and keep up with people’s increasing expectations of emerging technology.
Visual tests like these are becoming more common and critical now more than ever before, thanks to the evolution of technology and increase in new behavior and usage of devices. Rather than stick to traditional methods, it’s imperative that we start to embrace the benefits of mobile technology—allowing people to take and use image-based personality tests, quickly and simply, wherever they are in the world. Technology will continue to advance steadily as will the expectations of job applicants. Using advancements like image-based tests to capitalize on seemingly obvious facts (humans are best at visual processing!) will become the norm. Companies ignoring these trends will quickly get left behind.
What is the passage mainly about?
选项
A、Application of visual processing in personality tests.
B、Technological progress of personality assessments.
C、Benefits brought by image-based personality tests.
D、Exploration into the visual processing of humans.
答案
A
解析
主旨大意题。本题考查对全文中心意思的理解。纵观全文,作者首先提及传统性格测试的种种不足和缺陷,随后引入对视觉测试的介绍,简要说明了基于图像的性格测试的渊源,突出了应用这种测试的益处,指出尽管目前视觉测试还不是尽善尽美,但是它符合人类的思维特点和未来科技发展的趋势,一定会得到更加广泛的应用,可见文章主要是围绕视觉处理在性格测试中的应用展开,故答案为A)。B)“性格测试的技术进步”说法过于宽泛,文章只着重于视觉测试手段,并没有说到其他技术方法,故排除;C)“基于图像的性格测试的裨益”只涉及原文第二、三段内容,不能概括全文,故排除;D)“对人类视觉处理的探究”,在原文中,作者只是说视觉处理是人类最擅长的,并没有对其进行深入探索,故排除。
