Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 15 to 21.
The English are cold and reserved, Brazilians are lively and fun-loving, and the Japanese are shy and
hardworking - these are examples of national stereotypes which are widely believed, not only by other
nationalities but also by many people among the nationality themselves. But how much truth is there in
such stereotypes? Two psychologists, Robert McCrae and Antonio Terracciano, have investigated the
subject and the results of their research are surprising. They found that people from a particular country
do share some general characteristics, but that these characteristics are often very different from the
stereotype.
In the largest survey of its kind, a team of psychologists used personality tests to establish shared
characteristics among 49 different nationalities around the world. They then interviewed thousands of
people from these same groups and asked them to describe typical members of their own nationality. In
most cases the stereotype (how nationalities saw themselves) was very different from the results of the
personality tests (the reality).
For example, Italians and Russians thought of themselves as extrovert and sociable, but the personality
tests showed them to be much more introvert than they imagined. The Spanish saw themselves as very
extrovert, but also as rather lazy. In fact, the research showed them to be only averagely extrovert and
much more conscientious than they thought. Brazilians were quite neurotic - the opposite of their own
view of themselves. The Czechs and the Argentinians thought of themselves as bad-tempered and
unfriendly, but they turned out to be among the friendliest of all nationalities. The English were the

nationality whose own stereotype was the furthest from reality. While they saw themselves as reserved
and closed, Dr McCrae’s research showed them to be among the most extrovert and open-minded of the
groups studied. The only nationality group in the whole study where people saw themselves as they really
are was the Poles - not especially extrovert, and slightly neurotic.
Dr McCrae and Dr Terracciano hope that their research will show that national stereotypes are
inaccurate and unhelpful and that this might improve international understanding - we’re all much more
alike than we think we are!

A. A study on the characteristics of different nationality groups

Edward is entering a university and has to decide what foreign language to study, since he needs 12
credits to graduate. He studied Japanese by himself in high school and even had a chance to use some for
it when he took a trip to Tokyo. He enjoyed his trip very much and thought that maybe some day he
would like to work for an international company based in Japan.
The reason why the university requires students to study a foreign language is that they feel that it
makes the students more educated. Edward doesn’t feel that this should be the main reason for studying a
foreign language. He thinks that being able to communicate with people from different cultures is far

more important than just impressing people with your knowledge.
After considering the possibilities of studying German or French so that he could travel in
Europe with little difficulty, he finally makes up his mind to continue his study of Japanese. He feels that
