Vincent Van Gogh 'Self-Portrait'

According to conventional wisdom the line between genius and madness is a very thin one. Now a study suggests the line may be even more blurred than previously thought.
傳統(tǒng)觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為天才和瘋子只有一線之隔。如今有研究顯示他們之間的界限比以前更模糊了。

The study, conducted by psychologists at De La Salle University in Manila, found creative people are indeed flawed.
由馬尼拉德拉薩大學(xué)的心理學(xué)家們開展的研究表明，創(chuàng)造型天才其實(shí)是有缺陷的。

According to the research led by Adrianne John Galang they are more likely to display antisocial traits such as dishonesty and risk taking.
根據(jù)阿德里安娜?約翰?加朗帶頭開展的調(diào)查，他們更容易展現(xiàn)出像欺詐和冒險(xiǎn)這樣的反社會(huì)特性。

Huffington Post reported that 503 participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire which could pick up individuals with psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies. A second study looked for indications of disinhibition, boldness and meanness among 250 college students.
《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》報(bào)道稱，有503位參與者填寫了一份能找出精神病和自戀者的問卷。第二次研究則是在250位大學(xué)生中尋找抑制解除，冒失和吝嗇的適應(yīng)癥。

The third study, involving 93 participants, tracked levels of excitement during gambling exercises from the amount of electricity conducted by their skin.
第三次研究，則是在賭博游戲中，通過對(duì)93名參與者的皮膚進(jìn)行電流測(cè)試，來追蹤他們的興奮程度。

According to the results, which were published in Personality and Individual Differences journal, psycopathic boldness is integral to some creative personalities.
發(fā)表在《個(gè)性與個(gè)體差異》雜志上的結(jié)果顯示，精神病者冒失的特性是創(chuàng)造性人格產(chǎn)生的必要條件。

Creative people were found to show more psychopathic traits, such as boldness, the researchers concluded.
研究者總結(jié)道：創(chuàng)造型的人會(huì)表現(xiàn)出更多的像冒失這樣的精神病者的特性。

“Generally then, a creative field might not just shape a person into a more arrogant or dishonest personality, it might be actively selecting them, not for the sake of having disagreeable traits, but because such traits meaningfully co-vary with creativity itself.”
“總體來說，創(chuàng)造性不會(huì)只把人塑造成自大或虛偽的人格，它會(huì)活躍的進(jìn)行選擇，不是為了有一個(gè)不討喜的性格，而是因?yàn)檫@樣的性格會(huì)隨著創(chuàng)造力一起變化。”
