Odor and personality go hand in hand.
Can you know someone’s personality by the way they smell? A group of researchers tried to get some __1__ about how people may behave based on their body odor. Although the results weren’t always accurate, they were similar to tests where people judged another’s behavior after watching a video of them.

In the study, researchers asked 60 people to wear plain white T-shirts for three nights __2__. For these three days, they were not allowed to wear perfume or eat strong-smelling foods because these would affect their body odor. All 60 people were given a personality test before the __3__ started. At the end of the three days, the shirts were put in bags and given to 200 testers who tried to determine the owner’s personality from the smell of the shirts.
The people smelling the shirts were able to guess if someone had a dominant, outgoing, or anxious personality. For example, people who are anxious may sweat a lot when they are __4__, which may make them smell different. Although the results were interesting, more studies need to be done to confirm the relationship __5__ odor and personality. First impressions may fool you. Instead of judging a book by its cover, try a different method like taking a whiff.

氣味和個性密切相關。
你能從一個人的氣味得知他的個性嗎?一組研究人員試圖根據體味來獲得一些關於人們行為的線索。儘管結果並不總是準確,但它們很接近人們在觀看他人影片後判斷他人行為的測試。
在這項研究中,研究人員要求六十個人連續三個晚上都穿著純白色的 T 恤。在這三天裡,他們不被允許噴香水或吃氣味濃烈的食物,因為這些都會影響體味。實驗開始前,這六十人全都接受了性格測試。三天結束後,這些衣服被裝進袋子裡並交給兩百名測試者,他們試圖透過衣服的氣味來判斷主人的個性。
聞衣服的人能夠猜測出某人的個性是否強勢、外向或焦慮。例如,焦慮的人在壓力過大時可能會大量出汗,這可能會使他們聞起來有所不同。儘管結果很有趣,但仍需要進行更多研究來證實氣味與個性之間的關係。第一印象可能會欺騙你。與其以貌取人,不如試試看不同的方法,例如聞一聞吧。
