    Sensing vs Intuition - The Local/Universal Dichotomy

    Sensing vs Intuition - The Local/Universal Dichotomy

    Colby and Alex discuss what it means to be a Local or a Universal, and how that relates to being a Sensor or an Intutitor by MBTI standards. They review what MBTI/Socionics analogues to the functions relate to this dichotomy. There can be huge communication issues between Locals and Universals. Colby shows frustration over trying to communicate with sensors (locals), and a discussion ensues on how to bridge communication barriers.

    Can You Read Dark Triad Traits In People's Faces?

    Can You Read Dark Triad Traits In People's Faces?

    Alex and Colby dissect the research paper "Facing a psychopath: Detecting the dark triad of personality from emotionally-neutral faces, using prototypes from the Personality Faceaurus." Is there scientific evidence for being able to predict personality traits from static facial features? Can you tell if someone is machiavellian, narcissistic, or psychopathic just by reading their face? What does it even mean to be a machiavellian, a narcissist, or a psychopath in relation to Physiotype? Find out in Episode 6!

    Holtzman, N. S. (2011). Facing a psychopath: Detecting the dark triad of personality from emotionally-neutral faces, using prototypes from the Personality Faceaurus. Journal of Research in Personality, 45(6), 648-654.
