    My 3 Favorite Psych Articles This Week - March 8, 2024

    In this episode of The Psych Files, host Michael Britt explores three fascinating new psychology studies.

Finally, not all personality tests are created equal - while popular, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) lacks scientific support, whereas the Big Five model and its personality traits are well-validated by research. However, no test can capture the full complexity of your personality. Psychological science is always uncovering new insights into how our minds work, with much still left to discover.

    How to Remember Names

    How to Remember Names

    It's hard to remember names - here's how to do it. You'll use your imagination and some weird imagery - but this works. Here's another great use of mnemonics.

Also, I look at recent research that provides yet another reason why names are hard to remember.
