When you use or take personality tests, what are the factors that lead to job success? There are several personality factors that have been correlated with success in jobs, although it has also been shown that too much of one factor can cause problems.
1
Intelligence
A number of studies have shown that general intelligence often correlates well with job success. Basically, it means that intelligent people are generally good at jobs. Hire bright people and they will be able to do what you ask of them. Conscientiousness(自觉)
Conscientiousness has also been shown by several studies as being highly correlated with job success. Conscientious people will work hard to complete the work they have committed themselves to doing. They can also be left alone without need for constant supervision(监督)． Openness
If you are open to experience, ready to challenge yourself and learn and welcome feedback from others, then you will not only learn far more，but also be thought of as a pleasant person by others who will be more ready to work with you. Unsurprisingly, this tends to make people better at jobs. Agreeableness(随和)
When paired with conscientiousness, a person who is easy to get on with becomes even more successful in many jobs. Particularly if the work requires working with other people, a person who is disagreeable is not likely to gain good cooperation. Extroversion
If you are outgoing and get your energy from being with other people, you will probably do better in many jobs than others, especially those that require you to work actively with others, whether in managerial or team environments.
In addition, there are other factors that have also been shown to be linked with success, although some studies have shown that these tend to be more related to some jobs than others.

4．A.door C．wheel
B．window D．seat

8．A.shabby C．ugly
B．delicate D．old
B 解析：此处表示这些具有创意的被子，虽然用旧了，但看起来仍然精美。根据空后的“but”可知，空处所填词与空后“worn”表示的含义形成转折，应是表示积极含义的，故“delicate”符合语境。shabby“破旧的”；delicate“精美的”；ugly“丑陋的”；old“旧的”。
