In this

episode, Jose and Nicholas discuss Nicholas’ third favorite topic, personality

models. In Season 1 Episodes 2–3, we discussed a single model of personality

but there are many others out there. This time we talk about some of those other

models and, boy, do we have opinions. Although we don’t like many of these

models, we do our best to explain our concerns and link them to what research

knows. Join us and learn about what you should be looking for when it comes to

different models of personality!
