Surprisingly uninformative video from an otherwise interesting youtube channel.

99% Invisible had a much better treatment of the subject. Have a look at/listen to "The Ice King" episode.

So now he is setting himself up to move out of the stone age and into the bronze age.

No idea where he is filming this but i hope there is a copper mine nearby!

You mean yesterday?

I put very little stock in these personality tests. In particular, I don't trust them because they only describe whatever personality you have in positive, flattering terms - a trait/tactic very similar to horoscopes. Of course you will like the result if you are being compared to Shakespeare and told that you are among the most brilliant minds in the known universe.

So the MBTI's practical use is overwhelmingly unscientific, and it's often criticized for this. Criticism ranges from the pragmatic fact that neither Jung nor Myers and Briggs ever employed scientific studies to develop or test these concepts, relying instead on their own observations, anecdotes, and intuitions; all the way to charges that your MBTI score is hardly more meaningful than your zodiac sign.

It is hinted at but not explicitly stated, but isn't possible that early birds are also more optimistic, proactive, etc. because their genetically predisposed sleep pattern lines up with the artificial timeframes set up by society? Are they basically getting a pat on the back by society for conforming to its needs?

For example, are early birds more depressed/less proactive in Spain where the average workday starts sometime between 10 and 11 am and ends close to 8 pm? Wouldn't they then suffer from the same "social jetlag"?

Why is the US the only blonde country? Also, why are they all women?

Might be your bias against the Southern US accent.

Josh Clark also co-hosts the 'How Stuff Works' podcast and is a writer for their website. He is definitely not an expert on any of the stuff he discusses but he does pretty successfully convey sometimes complex information in a useful and entertaining way. The podcast is one of the most popular ones out there and I find it is a good way to kill 30 minutes learning something while cycling around town.

If nothing else sticks, at least I know what the hell a serif is now

Who dat?

That's not just some smart British guy. That's particle physicist, TV personality, rock star, hair model, podcaster and professor Brian Cox
