当谈到情绪反应时，我们有时都会有点太过分。有时我们很容易变得过度兴奋或无理地心烦意乱，尤其是当我们真正关心的事情受到威胁时。但某些性格类型是否比其他性格类型更容易产生强烈的情绪反应？
在本次“聊聊我的”研究中，我们要求我们的社区成员不仅从个人角度，而且从其他人的看法角度来反思他们的情绪反应。我们要求读者肯定或否定以下说法：“您周围的一些人会说您的情绪反应可能很强烈。”总体而言，大多数人表示同意（59%）。
请注意，我们的声明并未具体说明所讨论的情绪反应是消极的（尖叫、咒骂、哭泣）还是积极的（大笑、拥抱、庆祝）。我们在本研究中关注的是情绪的强度，而不是情绪的性质。以下是按性格类型细分的回应：
由于这项研究涉及情绪，我们可能已经预料到情感特质会发挥重要作用。但结果可能会让您感到惊讶。哪些性格类型最有可能认为其他人认为他们的情绪反应很强烈？让我们在下面详细分析数据。
角色
外交官（68％同意）
外交官是最有可能同意其他人有时将他们的情绪反应描述为强烈的人物，但情感特征并不是该角色名列前茅的主要原因。事实上，情感特质和思维特质之间的差异可以忽略不计（分别为 61% 和 59%）。
思考情感特质的一种方式是，它充当一个持续的过滤器，拥有它的人通过它做出决定并创造世界观。因此，尽管对于像外交官这样的情感类型来说，情绪总是表现在表面上，但这当然并不意味着他们会对遇到的每种情况产生强烈或不合理的情绪反应。
直觉特质在本次调查中发挥了更大的作用：直觉类型比观察型类型同意我们的说法的可能性高出 16%（67% 对 51%）。造成这种差异的原因是什么？具有直觉特质的人在表达想法时比较大胆，但在稳定性方面投入较少。交流深刻的、非传统的观念有时会带有强烈的情感色彩，特别是当这些观念可能被他人误解时。
当外交官感到有人拒绝（或可能接受）他们认为是基本的理想和原则时，他们的情绪尤其会变得紧张。最重要的是，直觉型人格更有可能花时间想象别人在事后对他们的情绪表现有何反应。
分析师 (64%)
尽管我们经常认为分析师是冷酷理性的，但这些思考型的人可能和感觉型的人一样情绪化——他们只是更喜欢把自己的情绪藏在心里。表达和解决情感问题的有机过程对思考型人格不太有吸引力。他们可能会尝试清除头脑中的情绪并从逻辑上解决问题，而不是深入了解自己的感受。
因为分析师不像情感类型那样容易接触自己的情绪，所以当他们最终表达自己的情感时，他们可能会更具爆发力。为了检验这一点，人们只需要在错误的时间克服一位喜怒无常的分析师有时对事物的完美主义看法。与外交官一样，这些直觉型人格可能是理想主义的和非正统的（并且很容易被误解），当他们发现有必要时，他们会强烈地保护自己的想法。使情况进一步复杂化的是，当他人的感受受到威胁时，分析师可能没有足够的敏感性来抑制自己的情绪反应。
动荡辩手 (ENTP-T) 是最同意我们的说法的个人性格类型 (83%)。辩论者喜欢与他人进行智力辩论，并以这种方式展示他们的智力实力。由于狂暴的动荡特质是该套装的一部分，这可以采取强烈的“不留俘虏”策略的形式。引起他人的反应往往正是辩论者想要做的，但有时他们会无意中激起自己的情绪，使事情走得太远。
探险家 (54%)
探索者的一致率较低主要是由于他们善于观察的特质，这使得他们的看法扎根且现实。出于实际原因，他们可能比外交官和分析师更能控制自己的反应。例如，探险家通常被认为在紧急情况下非常宝贵，因为他们能够在迅速采取行动解决危机的同时保持冷静和冷静。
也就是说，探索者也非常自发，因为他们的灵活人格特质使他们在情感上比哨兵（他们的观察者类型）更难以预测。总体而言，灵活人员比判断人员同意我们的说法的可能性高 7%（64% 比 57%）。灵活类型不像他们的判断类型那样锁定稳定和秩序。这大概就是冲动和结构的区别。通过对各种可能性保持开放的心态，随心所欲的探索者也会对情感上的惊喜和潜在的强烈反应敞开心扉。
Sentinels (50%)
Sentinels are Observant stabilizers who like to keep things running smoothly. Their efficient practicality may moderate any impulse to react intensely. After all, can anything upset a day more than when someone has an emotional blowout in the office or at the breakfast table? Even intensely positive displays of emotion can disrupt a day.
Thanks to their Judging trait, Sentinels prefer predictability and may experience fewer surprises than other personality types because they’ve already thought out how they would react in any number of possible scenarios. That’s not to say that Sentinels are overly calculated or unfeeling, just that they may be more measured with their emotions, especially when they’re around other people.
The individual personality type with the lowest agreement was the Assertive Defender (ISFJ-A) (28%). Defenders, aside from valuing order and efficiency, tend to be deeply considerate of and concerned for the well-being of others. They don’t like to take the spotlight with their own feelings. Assertive Defenders are particularly confident in their abilities as protectors and would naturally try to keep an even temper.
Strategies
Social Engagement (78% agreeing)
Our study confirmed that reacting intensely is an inherent tendency of the Turbulent personality trait. Individuals with the Turbulent trait were 31% more likely than those with the Assertive trait to affirm our statement (73% versus 42%). Whereas the Feeling trait is a constant emotional filter, the Turbulent trait is a reactionary trait that responds to the world in an immediate and often fleeting way. Turbulent personalities can expect many emotional ups and downs, and intense emotional reactions are not uncommon.
Extraverts in our survey were slightly more likely than Introverts to think that others see them as sometimes being emotionally intense (62% versus 58%, respectively). This makes sense not just because Extraverts are more likely to seek social contact in the first place, but also because they’re more open to feedback from the outside world. They’re probably aware of how others respond to their positive or negative emotional extremes and may even value the opportunity to learn about themselves and to improve their relationships with others.
This is especially true of Extraverted, Turbulent Social Engager personalities, who were the most likely to agree with our statement. Social Engagers place very high value on their personal relationships and are always thinking about their social status. They may expend a lot of energy worrying about whether other people perceive them as overly emotional, and that added stress only contributes to reactions that can already be somewhat intense.
Constant Improvement (69%)
Constant Improvers are also Turbulent personalities, and while they’re not as concerned with social status as Social Engagers are, they still care a great deal about what others think of them. That self-consciousness, combined with a tendency toward emotional volatility, makes them likely to agree that other people would say that their emotional reactions can be intense.
As Introverts, though, Constant Improvers agreed at a lower rate than Social Engagers. It’s easy to imagine Introverts holding their emotions back in order to avoid the exhausting exchanges that might result when one “flies off the handle.” Even intensely positive emotions take some social managing and can deplete the energy of an Introvert.
People Mastery (47%)
Personality types with Assertive Identities, like People Masters, tend to approach the world with a confidence that overrides much of the insecurity and stress that typically fuels extreme emotionality. And they usually aren’t too bothered by what other people think of them.
Extraverted People Masters aren’t shy about expressing their opinions – and sometimes, their emotions. But because they are connected to their communities and value personal relationships, People Masters may be more conscientious about keeping their emotions in check. After all, they can’t be effective leaders if others can’t trust them to be sensible, and if that’s how people regard them, these personalities will be aware of it.
自信的个人主义（34%）
作为自信的内向者，自信的个人主义者的行为可能更加平和，无论是独处还是与他人在一起。即使其他人会将他们的反应描述为激烈，自信的个人主义者也是最不可能意识到或关心这一点的人。
当然，自信的个人主义者并非不会感受到强烈的情绪。他们只是喜欢把这些情绪藏在心里。这些内向的人格无法容忍戏剧性事件，并且可能会竭尽全力避免处理情绪爆发的后果，而这必然需要更多的社交互动来解决。
结论
值得注意的是，我们生活中可能至少会有几个人会说我们的情绪反应有时会很强烈——无论是因为这些人（也许是无意的）可能有些消极或评判性，还是因为他们真心关心我们，希望我们快乐。但这项研究证实，天生直觉更强、更大胆、更自发、更善于社交和更自我意识强的性格类型更有可能首先产生强烈的情绪反应，并相信其他人认为他们情绪激烈。
我们已经考虑过其他人如何看待我们的情绪反应，但我们又该如何看待自己情绪激动的时刻呢？哪些人格类型会对自己不满，哪些人格类型会泰然处之？敬请期待——这是我们下一篇文章的主题。
那您呢？别人会说您的情绪反应激烈吗？这与您的性格类型相符吗？请在下面的评论中告诉我们。
