Задание 2. Сделать задание к тексту.

For several decades, psychologists have been doing extensive research on a subject that effects millions of us: hobbies. (2) According to their findings, a person’s choice of hobby can be almost as revealing as his reaction to an inkblot.
Investigators found that a clearly distinguishable pattern exists between hobby preferences and personality.
Scientists now say that they are in a position to study your hobby and come up with a fairly accurate estimate of your emotional
maturity, level of intelligence, and distinguishing personality traits.
(9) This is because people generally pick a hobby of their own free will. As a parallel, a person choosing a mate employs a
method of selection that reflects his or her intellectual and emotional maturity; the same process is at work in choosing a hobby.
A hobby is never a task, but a form of living expression that complements (14)and augments one’s own personality.
