Persona: The Dark Truth behind Personality Tests plot

"The questions are simple. The answers are dangerous."

Taking a personality test can provide useful insights into our self-esteem, but many don't realize how deeply embedded personality assessments are in everything we do. This documentary explores the unexpected origins of America's great obsession with personality testing, exposing the intriguing history behind the world-famous Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This raises a series of ethical questions and shows how some personality tests do more harm than good, such as influencing online dating matches or job prospects.
