托福考試歷時長達四個小時的網考由四個部分組成，每個部分側重一種語言技能，不過一些試題需要多種技能綜合使用。考試着重於在高等教育和學術環境下的語言使用。
Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a strangers personality simply by looking at the persons shoes.
堪薩斯大學的研究人員稱，只需看看一個人穿的鞋，就能準確地判斷陌生人的90%的性格。
"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers," the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. "Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal cues with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear."
這項新研究發表在《個性研究雜誌》上，作者寫道：“鞋子可傳達其主人的細微但有用的信息。鞋子有其實際用途，但也作爲非言語信號傳遞着象徵性信息。人們一般都會注意自己和他人穿的鞋。”
Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits detected in the study include a persons general age, their gender, income, political affiliation, and other personality traits, including someones emotional stability.
《醫學日報》指出，研究發現鞋子可透露的個性特徵細節包括一個人的大概年齡、這個人的性別、收入、政治立場，還有包括情緒穩定性在內的其他個性特徵。
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someones shoes.

首席研究員歐姆瑞·吉拉斯說，這些判斷是基於所穿的鞋的樣式、價格、顏色和新舊程度做出的。在研究過程中，63名堪薩斯大學的學生觀看了研究參與者穿的208雙不同的鞋的圖片。參加該研究的志願者都是穿着自己平日裏最常穿的鞋拍的照，然後他們填寫了一份性格調查問卷。
So, what do your shoes say about your personality?
那麼，你的鞋反映了你的'什麼性格特點呢?
Some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts.
部分研究結果是在意料之中的：收入高的人大多穿價格昂貴的鞋子，而顏色鮮亮的鞋子通常是性格外向的人穿的。
However, some of the more specific results are intriguing. For example, "practical and functional" shoes were generally worn by more "agreeable" people, while ankle boots were more closely aligned with "aggressive" personalities.
不過，一些更具體的研究結果則十分有趣。例如，“實用、功能性的”鞋子通常是性格“隨和”的人穿的，而短靴的主人則大多是性格“強勢”的人。
The strangest of all may be that those who wore "
