Do you have a friend or coworker who sees things so differently than you? Do your ever wish you could update someone else’s operating system - or your own? Have you ever wondered whether you’d enjoy working a lot more if you had pursued a different occupation?

In today's episode of "Why It Works," Edythe Richards, founder of the consulting firm A Top Career, reveals some of the hidden mechanisms behind why Myers-Briggs Type Indicator works. We explore how different people may see and react to the same thing quite differently, how preparing for conversations can yield a much better result, and what type of person can be surprisingly vengeful.
