閱讀測驗是很多考生畏懼的英文題型之一，其實閱讀測驗的解題並不難，記得先從題目看起，再去看文章。如果是與題目無關的句子，不要浪費太多時間去鑽研，這樣還可以節省作答的時間。此篇文章的第一段中，有提到“job” (工作)、“find” (找)，所以文章一定是跟找工作有關
Nearly 50% of all workers in the United States have jobs they
aren’t happy with. Don’t let this happen to you! If you want to find the
right job, don’t rush to look through the classified ads in the
newspaper. Instead, sit down and think about yourself. What kind of
5
person are you? What makes you happy?
According to psychologist John Holland, there are six types of
personalities. Nobody is just one personality type, but most people
are mainly one type. For each type, there are certain jobs that might
be right and others that are probably wrong.

Understanding your personality type can help you make the right
job decision. Liz is a good example. Liz knew she wanted to do
something for children. She thought she could help children as a
school counselor or a lawyer. She took counseling and law courses—
and hated them. After talking to a career counselor, she realized the
15
problem was that she’s an Artistic type. Liz studied film, and she now
produces children TV shows— and loves it.
Here are some descriptions of the six types of personalities:
(1) The Realistic type is practical and enjoys working with machines
and tools.
20
(2) The Investigative type is curious and likes to learn, analyze
situations, and solve problems.
(3) The Artistic type is imaginative and likes to express himself or
herself by creating art.
(4) The Social type is friendly and enjoys helping or training other
25
people.
(5) The Enterprising type is outgoing and likes to persuade or lead
other people.
(6) The Conventional type is careful and likes to follow routines and
keep track of details.
