Hej, hello, hola: Does your personality change when you speak another language?

You’re more serious in Swedish, outgoing in English and funnier in French. Could it be true? Whether you’ve noticed it or not, research suggests yes, our personalities can shift depending on the language we are speaking. Your attitude to a language and the cultural values you place on it play a part in how you label your personality when speaking that language, say experts at Stockholm University.
