The Hush Loudly podcast on WGN Radio in Chicago has one goal – to help fellow Introverts share their worlds. And this week, host Jeri Bingham has The Myers-Briggs Company’s Michael Segovia as a guest.

“You just described the difference between me and my introverted friends,” said Jeri at one point where they were talking about the difference between the last two letters of the MBTI type – Judging and Perceiving.
