i grew up pretty close to my brother. We were one year, one near part in school. So i think i alwayske looked at differences between him and me. Within our families, we hadk kind of different roles and personalities. Now that were adults, i see that were actually really, really similar,. compared to like, the rodder population. Am, probably not. Or if there is, it's probably by accident. It's actually not that hard to write a valid personality quiz. The ones that don't seem completely ridiculous probably actually do have merit. If you wanted to take a bolshit quiz, oh oh, there's plenty waiting for you, such as buzz feeds
A few personal updates from your internet dad and then … WHO ARE WE? This one is a banger, folks. Personality researcher & psychology professor Dr. Simine Vazire dishes about introverts, extroverts, self-esteem, sociopaths, neuroticism, conscientiousness, Buzzfeed quizzes, yearbook inscriptions, trusting people, screwing up your kids, acting like your parents, changing personality traits through therapy or medication and astrology being put to the test. Also, Alie finds out what kind of dog she is. And thanks you for your #CritterPicforGrandpod.
