Are there any negatives to being bilingual?
Individuals who are bilingual are actually juggling multiple identities, and from the perspective of identity, this might be considered negative by some. For instance, you may see a difference in an individual’s response to a personality test or other psychological measure based on the language the tests are in. But on the other hand, it does also give a peek into how a language can affect your worldview – which tends to come from the values endorsed by the culture of that language.
