Everyone wants to be authentic.You want to be true to yourself, not a slavish follower of social expectations.You want to "live your best life," pursuing your particular desires,rather than falling in line with whatever everyone else thinks happiness requires.Studies have even shown that feelings of authenticity can go hand in hand with numerous psychological and social benefits：higher self-esteem, greater well-being, better romantic relationships and enhanced work performance.
Although most people would define authenticity as acting in accordance with your own set of values and qualities,research has shown that people feel most authentic when they conform to a particular set of socially approved qualities, such as being extroverted, emotionally stable, conscientious, intellectual and agreeable.This is the paradox of authenticity：In order to reap the many of the benefits of feeling authentic, you may have to betray your true nature.
From a psychological science standpoint, a person is considered authentic if he or she meets certain criteria.Authentic people have considerable self-knowledge and are motivated to learn more about themselves.They are equally interested in understanding their strengths and weaknesses, and they are willing to honestly reflect on feedback regardless of whether it is flattering or unflattering.Above all, authentic people behave in line with their unique values and qualities even if those characteristics may conflict with social conventions or other external influences.
But a number of studies have shown that people's feelings of authenticity are often shaped by something other than their loyalty to their unique qualities.Paradoxically, feelings of authenticity seem to be related to a kind of social conformity.The research also finds that people report feeling most authentic when their behavior confirms to a specific pattern of qualities：namely, when they are extroverted, emotionally stable,conscientious, intellectual and agreeable.
So, when it comes time to actually make a judgment about our own authenticity, we may use criteria that are closer to how we judge the authenticity of an object such as food.A fruit tiramisu may be unique, but the authenticity of tiramisu is judged by its conformity to a conventional recipe.Similarly, it appears that the more we conform to social conventions about how a person should act, the more authentic we feel.
We want to believe that authenticity will bring us benefits.It's not surprising that businesses such as Microsoft, BlueCross BlueShield, and Gap have worked with consultants to leverage authenticity in the workplace. However, until we learn more about whether being authentic reaps the same benefits as feeling authentic, we are left with a tough decision between loyalty to our true selves and conformity to social convention.

答案：
解析：
根据文章第二段第一句提到，大多数人将真实性定义为按照自己的特有的一套价值观和品质行事。因此，选项B“追求自己的价值观和品质”是正确的答案。文章强调了真实性与个人价值观的联系，而不是简单地追求社会期望或仅仅追求心理益处。因此，选项A、C和D虽然与真实性有关，但不是大多数人眼中真实性的定义。
