EP8: We Took the MBTI 16 Personalities Test—Did It Get Us Right?
Manage episode 472552985 series 3622364
In this episode of Pondering Pandas, Jayden and Ryan dive into the world of the 16 Personalities Test, also known as MBTI, to uncover whether it truly reflects who we are—or just who we think we are. As they reveal their latest test results and compare them to past outcomes, the conversation quickly evolves into something deeper: how personality shifts over time, whether our answers reflect our ideal selves or our current reality, and how emotional intelligence, boundaries, and self-awareness all tie into the picture.
Along the way, they share candid reflections about personal growth, the challenges of managing relationships, and even how their differing personality types—INTP and ENFJ—complement each other in both podcasting and life. Is MBTI a valuable tool for introspection and connection, or just another trendy label? From serious takeaways to laugh-out-loud moments, this episode blends insight with authenticity, inviting you to reflect on your own personality journey.
