問題詳情

請回答第 46 題至第 50 題：Jim Monsma of the Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington D.C. is now using the Feline-alityprogram, a personality test designed to match cats with prospective owners. The program assesses a variety ofbehaviors in individual cats, and then tallies those assessments to place the cat into nine personality categories,which can be matched with a family’s situation and desires. It’s not unlike a magazine quiz to find out “Whichkind of cat are you?” The program is used at 45 shelters, with additional facilities preparing to use it.As part of the personality test on a cat named Barnaby, Monsma brings Barnaby into an unfamiliar room andopens his cat carrier. Barnaby shoots out and takes charge, checking out the room and everything in it. Monsmauses a stopwatch to track how much time Barnaby spends on social interactions. For example, he adds up howmany seconds Barnaby spends trying to get on his lap. He also monitors his noises and blink rate, both indicatorsof sociability. Monsma then initiates some interactions, offering a hand, three different toys, and hugs. Eachtransaction earns Barnaby some points. His total comes out high on both scales—he’s both highly sociable andhighly confident.Equally important to the Feline-ality program is the fact that people differ, too. Adopters fill out aquestionnaire and the results give them a color code, telling them which set of personality types would be best forthem to consider.The program aims to end animal-human mismatches, often a reason cats are returned to the shelter, Monsmasays. He says the program has helped to increase adoption in shelters that have tested the Feline-ality program,partly because people find the process fun.
