TMB Episode 71: Personality Tests and Tribalism


Listen Later

In today's podcast, Dr. Berney responds to a listener question about online personality tests. The listener wrote:
HELP! I AM ADDICTED TO THESE ONLINE PERSONALITY TESTS.  I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO KNOW WHICH OF THE HOUSES AT HOGWARTS I WOULD BE SORTED INTO. OR WHICH LORD OF THE RINGS CHARACTER WOULD BE MY SOUL MATE. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT IF ONE OF THOSE TESTS POP UP ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE, I CANNOT RESIST. IS IT PART OF MY PERSONALITY TO DO THESE PERSONALITY TESTS OR AM I JUST A SUCKER FOR THESE TYPES OF THINGS?
THANKS, ELLEN
