22、d. “On the more humorous sidethey do confirm our more or less prejudicial stereotypes of the disturbed psychologist, the withdrawn natural scientist, the cynical economist. ”And she said that the findings could help those school pupils who currently have no idea what to study at university, as well

23、as helping academics to plan their lectures. “I nomt arguing that these results should play a major role in either guidance or selection, but it might provide some inspiration for students that are in doubt about study choices and want tomake a choice based on more than abilities, for example, ” sai
