EXERCISE 6
Rephrase the underlined sentences *in your own words*:

Personality tests are now appearing in all types of industry. In a global


recession, many firms want to be sure they are employing the most suitable
person for the job. They cannot afford to pick the wrong one. Smaller profits
also mean staff are working under more stress. Therefore, companies want to
make sure their employees get on with each other. Disagreements are costly
and inefficient.
In the US alone, there are about 2,500 personality tests on the market. One of
the most popular is called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or MBTI. It has
also been adopted by governments and military agencies around the world.
“Myers-Briggs is the most successful psychometric test out there and
deservedly so,” says Rachel Robinson of the consultancy firm YSC in central
London. “It has been a fantastic vehicle for people to think about themselves
and how others are different.”
The MBTI was invented thanks to an awkward relationship between a woman
and her future son-in-law. Katherine Briggs, a wealthy housewife from
Washington DC, realized Clarence Myers was a good match for her daughter,
Isabel, when she brought him home from college. He seemed like a nice young
man, but his way of thinking was so strange to her that she turned to books
for help.
Apparently the overwhelming majority of the 2.5 million Americans who take
the MBTI assessment each year feel their results do fit their personalities.
However, the Myers Briggs Foundation itself discourages the use of the test
for hiring and firing. Instead, they see it mainly as a means of getting
employees to think about how they interact with colleagues and work as a
team. So, if you are asked to do a personality test at some point in the future,
think carefully about the reason behind it. It may not for the reason you
thought

4 Jackie will go along with whatever you want to do – she’s pretty ________________.
5 Brian hardly ever spends any money – he’s very ________________.
6 Jason won’t mind you using his computer – he’s very ________________.
7 Why did you tell Paula that and tell me something different? You’re so
________________.
