Personality Tests Exposed: MBTI, DISC, and the Rise of Objective Profiling with RTP

Ever felt boxed in by a personality test? You’re not alone. MBTI and DISC are everywhere—from workplaces to online quizzes—offering labels that sound insightful, even comforting. But how accurate are they really?

In this episode, we go deep into the science (and the marketing) behind the world’s most popular profiling tools—and uncover the truth. With the help of internationally recognised profiling and communications specialist Alan Stevens, we explore a radically different approach: Rapid Trait Profiling (RTP).

Discover:

Why MBTI and DISC lack scientific reliability and predictive power

How social desirability, self-perception, and mood distort test results

The hidden influence of the Barnum Effect—and how it shapes false confidence

Why RTP avoids these pitfalls by relying on objective, observable traits

How facial features, micro expressions, and body language combine to give real-time, actionable insight

And why RTP works across cultures, under pressure, and in live interactions

Whether you’re in business, education, law enforcement, negotiation, or simply want to understand people better—this episode will change how you think about profiling forever.

🎯 From opinion to observation. From assumption to clarity.
