EP. 9 - Personalities: Myers-Briggs (MBTI)
Who am I? And who are you? Are you an E/I, S/N, T/F, P/J? Many are familiar with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) - personality tool used to understand psychological types. While everyone is assigned one of the sixteen defined personalities, are they accurate representations of who we are? In this episode, we explore our recent personality type results discussing them through the lens of strengths and weaknesses, careers, relationships (romantic and platonic). Tune in to hear our reflections on these results and the verdict on accuracy! Follow us on Instagram: @theglasschest

In this episode, we reflect upon the good and bad stories of people of all ages. Tune in to hear about the laughs and tears we have had over kids, peers, and adults.

EP. 7 - Research: Experiences (Background), Rants (Results), and Hopes (Future Directions)
In this (heated) episode, Katrina and Kelly reminisce about their academic research experiences, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The glorified field of research though filled with brilliant ideas and minds, comes with its flaws. Research allows us to push beyond what is known, to seek like-minded individuals, and to investigate our curiosities and interests. However, there is still A LOT of room for improvement. At the end of the day, explore what you want to explore, challenge the academic systems and hierarchies, and enjoy the research process regardless of the results!

Let’s open the dialogue with an open mind about choosing “this” or “that.” Share your thoughts and share this with a friend! Follow us on Instagram: @theglasschaest
