Meet Your Dark Side - Rex Riepe, Eristics, DSPod #281

Rex Riepe is a philosopher who created the Eristics Test as a
tool for helping people understand how they process emotions. In
his view, emotions are a deeply rational aspect of our
personalities that argue for us to take specific actions in three
spheres - the self, the world, and society. We discuss the
structure that he has developed for understanding the
relationship between emotions, how he identified the fundamental
building blocks of our interior landscapes, the way that
different personalities fit together, and how unexamined
emotional strategies can take on a life of their own. Take the
