Intro

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by world-renowned personality psychologist and good friend of the podcast, Adrian Furnham, PhD, to talk about a recent paper he authored on the personality characteristics of people who prefer to work from home. So many people across the globe found themselves working from home once the Covid pandemic shook the world of work, and many continue to do so five years later due to the popularity of it. But why was it so popular? Why did so many people cling to it long after most of the world returned to normal? Well, a lot of it could be explained by personality and that’s what we’re going to talk about today.
