Chapter 327: Perfume Exam
(Two-in-one chapter, thank you for the reward, I have been supporting Jiangcheng, I am very grateful.) )
"Sword and Fairy" was a hit, and Uber became a fan-like legend.
Now media reporters want to interview Qin Shi, because this person is related to "Fairy Sword" and Uber, or in other words, Qin Shi is the creator of "Fairy Sword" and Uber.
But just when everyone wanted to interview Qin Shi, Qin Shi seemed to have evaporated, and many reporters who were originally squatting at the door of the Galaxy Building were all empty for several days.
Later, students from Jiangnan University broke the news on the Internet that Qin Shi had been studying in school recently, and then reporters came to Jiangnan University in a swarm.
As a top university in China, Jiangnan University's security is still very good, and those media reporters who came to the gate of Jiangnan University early in the morning with long guns and short guns were all stopped outside the school gate and could not enter.
The school's explanation for this is that students are in the final exam recently, and they don't want media reporters to disturb them and affect their performance.
I don't know which person from the school security department is, so I went to get a banner and hung it at the school gate.
"Usually, when you come, no matter how stormy it is, I will welcome you; At this time, when you come, I will refuse you no matter how big the battle is. ”
Someone took a picture of this banner and posted it on the Internet, and it became popular in an instant, and many netizens reprinted it one after another, thinking that the person who made this banner was really funny.
Qin Shi had already foreseen that there would be media reporters to surround him these days, so when he came to the exam on this day, he deliberately took a detour and entered the school from the small door, perfectly avoiding those reporters.
Today he is going to take the psychology exam, and he has no time to deal with those reporters for the time being.
And after the exam, he was also going to run away secretly, just kidding, now the media reporters are hyping Uber, if he stands up so early to solve everyone's doubts, isn't there no mystery at all that was stacked in the early stage, and he is not willing to do this kind of unsuccessful thing.
The exam starts at nine o'clock, lasts two hours, and ends at eleven o'clock.
The moment Qin Shi got the test paper, he finally knew that Lin Zhen wasn't joking with him.
Lin Zhen did give him a different and ingenious test paper.
Because today's exam was invigilated by Lin Zhen, and the hair roll paper was also issued by Lin Zhen, so when he took the roll paper from Lin Zhen's hand, Qin Shi also cast a rather playful look at her.
Lin Zhen knew what Qin Shi wanted to express, but she just smiled faintly, and then handed out rolls of paper to the other classmates.
After Qin Shi got the roll paper, he took a general look at it, and found that Lin Zhen was not particularly cruel to him, at least the question type was still very normal.
The paper is divided into multiple-choice questions, multiple-choice questions, true/false questions, noun explanation questions, and case analysis questions.
He was afraid that Lin Zhen would not play his cards according to the routine and get him a strange test paper, then he was afraid that he would have a headache for a while.
"The difficulty seems to be okay, I didn't say that it was so difficult that it exploded."
Qin Shi made a few multiple-choice questions and muttered to himself.
Although the difficulty of this test paper can be strengthened by Lin Zhen, if it is done for other students, I am afraid that it will be very, very difficult to even pass.
But in Qin Shi's hands, it didn't seem so difficult, it only took him 20 minutes to complete the multiple-choice questions, multiple-choice questions, judgment questions, and noun explanations.
"Whew, you can submit the paper after completing the case analysis questions."
Qin Shi's gaze fell on the last big topic, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, how come there are five case analysis questions?"
Suddenly, Qin Shi found that something was wrong, that is, there were too many case analysis questions.
Normally, there are 20 points for multiple choice questions, 20 points for multiple choice questions, 10 points for true or false questions, 10 points for noun explanation, and the final case analysis question is 40 points, and the score of 40 points is exactly the score of two case analysis questions.
However, there are five case study questions on this paper.
"No, if you calculate it this way, is it true that a case analysis question is only 8 points, which is not logical."
Qin Shi felt that something was not right, so he turned around and looked at the front part.
"I rub, 10 points for multiple choice questions, 10 points for multiple choice questions, 5 points for true or false questions, 5 points for noun explanation, and 70 points for case analysis questions!"
Qin Shi, who knew the truth, almost burst into tears.
Originally, with Qin Shi's self-confidence, if this was a normal test paper, not to mention getting a full score in the first sixty points, it would be easy to get a fifty points, plus the case analysis questions would be done casually, and it would not be too easy to pass, and it would not be difficult to excel.
But who knew that he had done so much before, and it was only worth thirty points, which was simply a cheat.
"Do it."
When Qin Shi raised his head to look at Lin Zhen, he found that Lin Zhen also happened to be looking at him.
"Isn't it just five case analysis questions, I don't believe I won't do it."
Qin Shi secretly said in his heart, since Lin Zhen deliberately made such a difficult roll of paper, then he would let him be shocked.
Case Study Question 1 – Scent: A Non-Verbal Clue That Is Disappearing? -- Perfume sales are declining steadily, although they are not plummeting?
The title goes like this: Wall Street Journal, 27 December 1998 -- The managing director of Arikopelman often tries to look at the master's bedroom when visiting friends. On one dressing table after another, he saw a large pile of half-used perfume piling up. "Every woman must have a backlog of perfume that lasts for 157 years. Mr. Kopelman said.
People call it a transformation of the olfactory organ. Nowadays, women walk in the corridors, go to work and eat out, and perfume smells much less. A 31-year-old marketing executive named Marycollins in Atlanta said: "I don't like perfume and spend a lot of time on it as much as I used to. ”
The perfume industry developed after World War II, when GGS, who had returned from war, brought the classic Chanel5 to his lover. Then expensive perfumes became a must-have on the dresser. The perfume industry reached a peak of 6 billion (dollars) in the 80s of the 20th century. But its development slowed down in the early 90s. And in the past few years, it has been declining at a rate of 2% to 4% per year.
Deviant women start avoiding perfume at work?? Trendsetters have seized on the situation to showcase their own understated fragrances. Refinement has brought development to the perfume industry. But he still continues the process of people gradually abandoning the use of traditional big-name perfumes. I used to buy Chanel and Joy regularly. A lady in Baltimore named Dorothyliadaklis said. But now she casually buys some drugstore bath gel instead. "I don't know if it's perfume or myself that has changed??"
Facial expressions, eye contact, gestures, body movements – these are the basic channels of non-verbal communication. However, in a certain way, fragrance is also a non-verbal cue. After all, with perfume, we can convey a subtle – or not-so-subtle – message to others. "I'm romantic", "I'm sensitive", "I'm mysterious" – the number of words that can be used is limited only by the imagination of the advertisement.
So why are people of all ages reducing their use of perfume – or at least their desire to pay high prices for brand-name products advertised in abundance?
The question is a bit long, and as for what the question is, it is the last sentence "Why are people of all ages reducing their use of perfume - or at least their desire to pay high prices for the brand-name products advertised in abundance?"
When Qin Shi first saw this question, he was also briefly stunned for a while, because this was a little different from the topic he thought before.
To be precise, he used to think that the case study of psychology should analyze a person's psychological problems, or analyze a certain phenomenon, but he never expected this topic to be so high-grade, let him explore the question of why fewer and fewer people use perfumes.
Qin Shi is a man who has never used perfume in his life.
If he had to say that he had used anything scented for spraying, it would be only toilet water.
So it's really a little embarrassing for him to be a man to discuss the issue of perfume, he really doesn't know much about perfume on weekdays.
Although I felt that it was a little difficult, I still had to do it.
Qin Shi went back and looked at the question again, pondering it carefully.
He felt that Lin Zhen just didn't want him to complete the exam too easily, and he wouldn't say that it was really difficult for him, and he didn't want to make him unable to answer.
If this is the case, then careful scrutiny of this question will inevitably lead to an answer, even if he does not know much about perfume.
After Qin Shi thought about it like this, he was also a lot more down-to-earth.
He began to analyze word by word, and he felt that the clue to the answer was likely to be hidden in the question, and as long as he found this clue, with his psychological background, it would certainly not be difficult to get the answer.
From the beginning of the development of the perfume industry, Qin Shi began to consider the clues that might be hidden between the lines.
The perfume industry reached its peak in the 80s and began to regress after the 90s.
From this point in time, Qin Shi felt that this was very likely to be hidden information.
From World War II to the eighties, forty years passed, and from the eighties to the nineties, another ten years passed, from the beginning to the decline, a total of fifty years.
In the past 50 years, the world has changed dramatically.
"By the way, it should be related to the development of society."
Qin Shi had a flash of inspiration in his mind and thought of a possibility.
People will fall in love with something, and this kind of thing becomes a fashion, which has a lot to do with society, after World War II, people's lives tend to be stable, and people start to pursue higher level things, such as beauty, and other high-level enjoyment.
The vigorous development of the perfume industry came into being in that specific era, and the subsequent development to the peak and decline should also be related to the characteristics of the times and social changes.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi could only be regarded as finding a key, a key to solve the mystery.
But there is clearly still some way to go before we can really get the answer.
After all, this is a psychology exam, and it is impossible not to take a psychological analysis, and psychology not only analyzes people, but also analyzes this society.
Qin Shi's mind kept recalling the psychology he had studied on Earth, and wanted to organize the final answer.
He closed his eyes and pondered, and after about three minutes, he opened his eyes, and then wrote with a pen on the answer sheet:
There may be a number of factors that have led to this trend. First of all, people all over the world - especially in the United States, one of the largest markets for perfumes - are now changing their clothes very frequently. Moreover, if a person is wearing jeans and undershirts, there is no need to use a $50 an ounce of perfume. Second, as mentioned above, there are workplaces where women are reluctant to wear strong perfume to work. They feel it sends the wrong message to their bosses and co-workers about professional behavior. Successively, there has been a tendency for fragrances to fade (such as soft beers and chatter foods) and it seems that they are also calling for light perfumes. And these perfumes can be bought in pharmacies at a cheaper price than the perfume stores in large shopping malls.
In conclusion, many trends have combined to reduce the use of perfume by women and men. This is bad news for the perfume industry, but it delights many people who are irritated and bored by strong scents. In any case, it is clear that more and more people are concluding that they can communicate non-verbally through channels other than those related to the nose.
After writing the answer, Qin Shi went to read the next question, and he was very confident that his answer would at least get more than 90% of the score, or even a full score.
Qin Shi felt that his handwriting was so beautiful, he would definitely be able to add points to himself.
After completing a case analysis question, there are still four questions waiting for Qin Shi, and now there is still more than an hour before the end of the exam, Qin Shi does not dare to slack off.
Finally, when there were thirty-five minutes and thirty seconds left before the end of the exam, Qin Shi finished this special roll paper, walked up to the podium and handed the answer sheet to Lin Zhen.
"Teacher, I'm done."
Qin Shi stood on the edge of the podium and said with a smug smile.
"Oh, if you do it so quickly, it won't be that you can't do it, or that you can't do it."
Lin Zhen was a little surprised by Qin Shi's speed, you must know that the roll paper he gave Qin Shi was not only difficult, but also had a large amount of questions, but he turned in the paper faster than other students.
"It's all full, and it's not full."
Qin Shi lowered his head and looked at his densely written rolling paper, and gestured.
"Then you go out first."
Lin Zhen glanced at Qin Shi, and then let him out.
After Qin Shi left the classroom, Lin Zhen took out a red pen from his pocket and stood and began to review Qin Shi's scroll of paper.
She didn't look at the multiple choice questions and true/false questions in front of her, and went straight to the case analysis questions.
What Qin Shi didn't know was that in fact, Lin Zhen came out of this rolling paper, and the multiple-choice questions and anything would not be counted in the total score at the end, and the five case analysis questions were actually all of this rolling paper.
Lin Zhen knew that Qin Shi's psychological attainments were quite high, so she didn't plan to use ordinary evaluation criteria to score Qin Shi, she wanted to see how many points Qin Shi's case analysis questions could score, and from here she could know what Qin Shi's psychological attainments had reached.
Originally, Lin Zhen was already mentally prepared to review this scroll, but when she saw the answer to the first question of the case analysis question, she was still dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
