Problem Solved: Personality Tests Apr 27, 2017

Show notes

The fact of the matter is we don't know a lot about personality tests. You'll know pretty quick here when you listen. The bonus about this is that we discovered a lot of interesting things while recording. I will list them out with bullet points because that makes them seem very important. I am having construction in my kitchen and it turns out it doesn't happen as fast as it does on television. I made a terrible TERRIBLE mistake with my daughter's schooling but I'm fixing it so calm down. Rebecca has some concerning people in history who share her same personality. The people who share my personality are largely delightful. Especially when compared to Rebecca's. Yikes. Rebecca is going to Costa Rica for selling lipstick and I am pretty sure she is taking me. Unicorns do not exist even if you can find one on the internet. Rebecca and I have the same spirit animal BUT we couldn't be more different.
