What Your Personality Type Says about Your Sexuality

What does your personality type say about your sexual and relationship tendencies?

What does it mean if you score high on Number 2, which is a Helper, but low on Number 5, which is the Investigator? We’re going to dive into each of the 9 types with sex and personality expert, Lyndsey Fraser. I took the personality assessment myself and Lyndsey shared some interesting insight about what it might say about my sexuality. I’m getting vulnerable today!
