Former guest of The Meaning Project Podcast, Matthew Lostaglia, issued a public challenge on social media - he threw down the gauntlet straight '30's style boxing... He came at me and said something like this, "I don't believe in 'personality', and I think people who do are dumb..."

OK, it wasn't quite like that, but the original comment is so buried in social media history, that can't even find it. Part of the reason is that we recorded this once over a month ago - but you didn't get to listen to that version (I'll tell you why in the podcast). But what he did say is that a psychology course he was taking brought up some similarities between "horoscopes" and "personality assessment" for him, and he was wondering what the different was. So, off we went - discussing personality, the science of assessment, and the differences between science and pseudoscience. - Enjoy!
