Hey y'all, it's Elise Hugh and you're listening to TED Talks Daily. Today's talk features

personality researcher Brian Little. He's a psychologist specializing in personality types. In his

super funny and fascinating archive talk from TED 2016, Brian makes sense of you.

What's interesting about you?

How you're like other people.

How you are like no one else on the planet.

He'll also share a little test you can use on people at parties,

and you'll instantly be able to tell who the extroverts are in the room.

And stick around until the end of this.

It's one of my favorite TED Talk

conclusions that I've seen. What an intriguing group of individuals you are, to a psychologist.

I've had the opportunity over the last couple of days of listening in on some of your conversations

and watching you interact with each other. And I think it's fair to say already that there are

47 people in this audience at this moment displaying psychological symptoms I would like to discuss today.

And I thought you might like to know who you are.

But instead of pointing at you, which would be gratuitous and intrusive,

I thought I would tell you a few facts and stories in which you may catch a glimpse of yourself.

I'm in the field of research known as personality psychology,

which is part of a larger personality science,

which spans the full spectrum from neurons to narratives. And what we try to do in our own way is to make sense

of how each of us, each of you, is in certain respects like all other people, like some other people,

and like no other person.
