📖 題組：
Most emergencies pose a question: “Will I survive through this?” To help answer this question, researchers have identified and grouped the characteristics that make up the survival personality. Through their studies, they report that survivors have practical and intellectual abilities that help them supersede and even lead others. Survivors are the kind of people who are painfully realistic. Coldly analytical, they carefully analyze the situation. They do not waste time blaming or moaning. Instead, they rapidly absorb information about what is happening. They also anticipate that they can engage in concrete actions to influence unfolding events positively. Lastly, they constantly consider and respond to reactions from others toward their plans. It is most likely because of being so realistic that they exhibit high flexibility and adaptability and learn more from bad events through their positive responses. But their pragmatism is deeply bound up with an enviable smartness. They have a high tolerance for ambiguity and are deeply creative. In a new, unfamiliar territory, they see unusual connections, find unusual ways of combining things, and make remote associations that are sometimes unthinkable. They are clearly not textbook people. They see answers before others write about them in books. These observations on the survivor personality appear to run counter to some of our common beliefs. For instance, we tend to admire the hero who charges almost spontaneously and happily into the blaze. But researchers warn that “Rambo” type actions more quickly lead to disasters. They observe that if you go busting into the wilderness with the attitude that you know what is going on, you are liable to miss important cues. Those who appear strong are actually the ones to die first because of their carelessness, overbearing behavior, and overconfidence.
