Description
Today we’re diving into the world of personality tests, more specifically the Enneagram. We’ll take it ourselves, and find out just how accurate these tests are and what our obsession with them says about us.
Our guests this week are:
Joshua Hook, Professor of Psychology at the University of North Texas
Sam Corbin, columnist at The New York Times
Take the Enneagram yourself and tag us (@nosuchthing.show) in your results on your IG stories.
For links to Joshua and Sam’s work, check out our newsletter.
