Recently, a date said they were an INTJ (i.e., Myers Briggs). I told her, “I'm a PhD in psychology. I refuse to entertain some unscientific typology of personality with dubious scientific backing.” . I took pride in expressing my needs. As a Pisces, I really struggle with that.

There's been a university truck parked in our lot for nearly *four* years--unmoved and untouched. I've started putting fake "parking tickets" on their windshield every time I walk by. Folks. I don't think they're gonna notice anytime soon.

CRL Lab is at Fenway! . Funny thing: every professor is given free tickets behind home plate. But they never use it on their students for some reason. You should ask your advisor why they don't like you as much as I like my lab.

Giving judges a written explanation of the tattoo’s meaning (e.g., “This is for my cat, Mr. Pickles 🐱”) . Didn’t really improve accuracy for other traits , which was surprising!. It's still a bit of a mystery for how and why people are using tattoos to judge people.

How did people decide what someone’s personality was?. Judges relied on cues like:.🎨 Size .🌈 Color .☠️ Death imagery .🤣 Wackiness . …But most of these had zero connection to the person’s actual personality.
