A TV Binge-Watching Guide Based on Your Personality

Culture

Now that the New York Times agrees, it's official: We're living in a golden age of TV. The small screen now boasts more than a few movie stars and top-line directors, and it feels like every episode of every show is like a major motion picture experience.

Unfortunately an abundance of great shows doesn't mean the world will stop to give us time to watch them. We have to filter our intake (i.e., go on a binge-watching diet) but even then it's impossible to narrow our selection.

So we decided, like enlightened humanity before us, to turn to science.

Here are the three shows every kind of personality should be watching based on the (sort of) infallible Myers-Briggs personality test. If you haven't already, take the test, find your shows and let the binging commence:
