https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/nov/22/stoicism-book-news-brigid-delaney?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-intl The control test The control test is a simple but incredibly effective strategy I use whenever I start worrying about something. It can be applied not just to the news cycle but absolutely everything in life, from not getting a pay raise to facing death. The formula, or test, is found in Handbook, or Enchiridion, a book of lectures by the Roman stoic Epictetus.

Personality assessment is the measurement of  one’s behavior  and is a result of gathering data aimed to advance psychological research and theory.
