Episode Synopsis

Discussion about why personality tests "must be" wrong and why that is actually a good thing (that they are wrong)
I am referencing 2 specific tests (there are many more) 

MBTI test: 16 types of behaviours
Insights discovery test: 4 colors and 8 types of behaviours

My arguments for saying that they are wrong are based on Karl Popper's epistemology (critical rationalism)
