Description

Sherlock may have something to say as The Big Five personality model is often praised as the gold standard in psychology but what if it's missing the most important part of human behavior? In this episode of The Deductionist Podcast, we dive deep into how traditional personality frameworks fall short in the real world. Using Holmesian logic, sherlock insight into real-world deduction, and cutting-edge research like taxonomic graph analysis, we explore the flaws of static trait models and the rise of dynamic, meta-trait thinking. Discover why neat boxes don’t capture messy humans and how you can become a sharper observer, thinker, and communicator in the process.
