这篇文章从一个不同的角度来看名校录取中的“偏颇”(对内向人群)。有些道理,也许我们可从中学到一些没重视的东西。(关于亚裔VS哈佛

文章说:

But there's another group of people who definitely face routine prejudice in college admissions. They're the quiet types who keep to themselves, often preferring a relaxed evening at home to a rowdy night out. They like to study alone, not in groups. And they're often the last ones to speak up in class.

I'm talking about introverts, of course.

显然,是指对“内向”人群的不公。

文章不认同这样的标准,并不是“外向”的人更能成为成功的“leader”。

您可从上面的链接去看原文,这里择贴一些该文的论述:

That would be defensible if we knew that extroverts were more intelligent or successful than other people. But they're not. As Susan Cain shows in her indispensable 2012 book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, extroverts have us snowed. We perceive people who talk a lot — and, especially, those who talk quickly — as more able. And there's zero evidence for that.

And we're sticking with that story, despite evidence that Asians are less likely to display these traits than Westerners are. Cross-cultural studies have demonstrated that people in the East tend to emphasize traits such as humility and hard work, while Americans more often favor cheerfulness and enthusiasm.

I don't know if that makes them racially discriminatory. But I do know that they're scientifically indefensible, especially in light of everything we have learned about personality over the past half-century.

I just wish they were friendly to diverse personalities, not just diverse races. Without that, we'll end up with students who look different from each other but think and act the same.
