"Have you done the MBTI personality test?" "Yes, I'm an INTJ," replied Ms Gu in a recent interview. Ms Gu's response became a hot topic online and drew people's attention to the test.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is a test designed to discover a person's personality type. The test result is based on four sets of opposing qualities: Extraversion (外向) vs Introversion, Sensing vs Intuition (直觉), Thinking vs Feeling and Judging vs Perceiving (感知). After answering more than 90 questions, test-takers get their four-letter personality result, including a detailed description. Ms Gu's result of INTJ is one of the possible personality types that the test shows.
Developed by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers in the US in the 1940s, the test grew to become the standard for personality tests. Many companies and organizations use it to help them choose people for certain positions. And now in China, internet users are using it as a tool to guide their lives and relationships.
The key problem with the MBTI is that the test is too "black and white". The results place people into only one of each of the four categories, for example, someone is either an introvert or an extrovert. But many people would surely sit somewhere in the middle of these two. In short, the MBTI only gives a "simplified view of human personality", claimed one article. It can only really describe the surface of who people are. And don't forget that people's behaviour and characteristics also change over time. Tests and tools that help people better understand who they are and how they think are very powerful and can still help in some parts of life. As science and technology develop, people can look forward to more accurate (精确的) tests that truly embrace how wonderfully complex and ever-changing humans really are.

“你做过MBTI人格测试吗？”“做过，我是INTJ型的。”顾女士在最近的一次采访中回答道。顾女士的回答在网上成为了一个热门话题，并引起了人们对这个测试的关注。
迈尔斯 - 布里格斯类型指标（MBTI）是一种旨在发现一个人人格类型的测试。测试结果基于四组对立的特质：外向与内向、感觉与直觉、思考与情感、判断与感知。在回答了90多道问题后，测试者会得到他们的四字母人格结果，还包括一份详细的描述。顾女士的INTJ型结果是该测试显示的可能的人格类型之一。
该测试由美国的凯瑟琳·库克·布里格斯和她的女儿伊莎贝尔·布里格斯·迈尔斯在20世纪40年代开发，后来逐渐成为人格测试的标准。许多公司和组织用它来帮助他们为特定职位挑选人员。现在在中国，网民们把它当作一种指导自己生活和人际关系的工具。
MBTI的关键问题在于这个测试过于“非黑即白”。测试结果只把人们归入四组类别中的每一组的其中一种，例如，一个人要么是内向的，要么是外向的。但很多人肯定处于这两者之间的某个位置。简而言之，一篇文章称，MBTI只给出了“对人类人格的一种简化看法”。它只能真正描述人们的表面特征。而且不要忘记，人们的行为和特征也会随着时间而改变。帮助人们更好地了解自己是谁以及自己如何思考的测试和工具非常有影响力，并且在生活的某些方面仍然能起到帮助作用。随着科学技术的发展，人们可以期待更精确的测试，这些测试能真正体现人类是多么奇妙地复杂且不断变化。

A 它大约在____年前被开发出来。
B 它得到了心理学专家的支持。
C 它把人们归入不同的人格类型。
D 它被创造出来是为了帮助公司为特定职位挑选人员。
（ ）7. 最后一段中划线的单词“simplified”可能的意思是“____”。
A. 总体上
B. 详细地
C. 更难理解
D. 更容易理解
（ ）8. 写这篇文章的目的是什么？
