We love personality tests. Learning our love language, the nuances of our astrological sun moon and rising signs. We'll take most assessments hoping to come to a deeper understanding of ourselves. But why is that? We talk with associate professor of Psychology Chris Soto, Human Design expert Jenna Zoë and cosmic consultant and founder of Cosmic Rx, Madi Murphy to help us understand why we hold onto this instinct to look to external forces (whether rooted in research or nonsense) to tell us about ourselves and how illuminating it can really be.
HOST: Taylor Camille, Sr. Producer at Well+Good
GUESTS:
Chris Soto, Professor of Psychology at Colby College
Jenna Zoë, Human Design Expert
Madi Murphy, Founder of Cosmic Rx
