This week marks the launch of our brand new series, My Favorite Psychology Tools, and we're kicking things off with a deep dive into the fascinating world of personality types. With so many fads and trends out there, it can be hard to know what's actually backed by research. That's why we're here to separate fact from fiction and give you the inside scoop on what personality really is and what the latest research tells us about it.
Here's what we cover:
1. What is personality and why we're so fascinated with it
2. The benefits and pitfalls in personality tests
3. The 5 most researched personality traits
4. The mysterious H Factor and why it's so important
5. How personality traits show up in the Bible
