Are Astrology and Personality Tests BULLSH*T?! w/ Dr. Kim Perkins (ep#51)

The world is a chaotic place and events unfold at random every second of every day as we do our best to scramble, adapt, and make sense of it all. Within that chaos, human beings have a deep need for safety and predictability while being hopelessly bad at prediction. Few things exploit these needs more than religion. However, astrology is a pretty close second place. Though I consider myself an expert eye-roller regarding astrological matters, I only recently discovered personality tests exploit the same parts of our silly brains. Thankfully, Dr. Kim Perkins is here to explain why these things are not only completely without any basis in reality but why they're harmful and why we continue to lean into them so heavily.

Dr. Kim Perkins is a former journalist and pro athlete. She holds a Ph.D. in positive organizational psychology, an MA in Evaluation and applied research Kim is currently on a mission to help others make sense of this chaotic social era in which we find ourselves, so that we can overcome paralysis and take positive action for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.  She has consulted on organizational change and taught leadership at a wide variety of tech and entertainment companies.
