The Friendship Paradox

Society EN ↓ 96 episodes

We are two women who love personality types and want to talk about them. And we are two women who have completely different personalities and have built a best friendship in spite of our differences, and we want to talk about that and how we approach social situations. This podcast is for people who are casually interested in personality types and how they affect the way we interact with the world, and want to learn more about how we can better harness our knowledge of personality types to collaborate better with others.
