S09E02 The Big Personality Test (2)
Episode Overview
How does your personality influence your life choices? Can it determine your job satisfaction, impact your relationships, affect your health, or even influence your lifespan? In this two-part special celebrating the tenth anniversary of Child of Our Time, families delve into their personalities while hosts Robert Winston and Sophie Raworth unveil findings from the BBC's Big Personality Test, the largest study on the nation's personality traits. In the second installment, we explore how understanding your personality can lead to better decision-making and increased happiness. We visit a prestigious law firm to examine the connection between personality and income, and head to a magazine publisher to see how personality traits shape career paths. We also check in with the Child of Our Time children to see how their personality traits are impacting their lives.
