The Science of Personality Podcast
Personality affects the way we relate to the world and the people in it, how we work, who we love, and how other people see us. Although the study of personality is centuries old, our ability to understand and control such a complex and abstract concept is relatively new in the context of history. Featuring some of the world’s leading experts in personality psychology and business, this podcast explores the impact of personality on life, leadership, and organizational success.

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.
