Talking MBTI with a Psychology Professor (feat. Dr. Ben Cotterill)

Literally No Subtext with Dear Kristin

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Ben Cotterill, a psychology professor at Clemson University in South Carolina, to discuss his research using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other personality tools. Doctor Cotterill and I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of MBTI, its critics in the psychological field, the Big Five model and how one's psychological birth order might affect their personality type. It was a fascinating conversation, so grab a cuppa and get comfortable!
