A growing body of research suggests that your personality can influence your health. And some experts think personality testing might one day help treat diseases.

"If you're confronted with a chronic condition, like heart disease," Dr. Vedhara explained, "you might have an emotional response to that condition which might influence your underlying psychology and your ability to recover; you may well have an orientation which makes you more or less likely to exercise."

Therefore, she believes that in general, a treatment approach that considers the patient's psychological profile may be more effective than one that just looks at physical symptoms.

越来越多的研究表明，你的个性会影响你的健康。一些专家认为，在未来的某一天，性格测试或许会有助于治疗疾病。

韦德哈拉博士解释说，“如果得了慢性病，比如心脏病，你可能因为生病而产生情绪上的反应，这种反应或许会影响你的潜在心理以及康复能力;你很可能具有某种倾向性，这种倾向性会影响你锻炼身体的意愿。”

因此，她认为在通常情况下，把患者的心理状况考虑在内的治疗方案，可能会比只着眼于生理症状的治疗方案有效得多。

文中的personality testing就是“性格测试”的意思，其中personality是名词，多指日常表现出来的“性格，个性”，如：She has a powerful personality.(她有坚强的个性。);而character指一个人真正的根深蒂固的、永久具有的内在的本质，如：determined character(果断的性格)

第二段中的be confronted with表示“面临，面对”，体现一种“不可避免的”相遇状态，如：The new system was confronted with great difficulties at the start.(这项新制度刚开始就遇到了很大的困难。)
