Welcome to Therapists IRL, Episode 7, where Jen and Steph get personal about personality! Why are we the way we are? What parts of our personality are hard-wired? And why does it matter?
Today we’re tackling two popular personality tests, the Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram. Do these tests really tell us anything? How accurate are they? Join us to find out!
And, oh yeah, we also kind of blew it by not explaining the Enneagram more clearly in the episode, so A.I. Audrey makes an appearance to direct you here (our show notes). Sorry about that!

No therapists were harmed in the making of this episode, but vulnerability hangovers are real.
