Unveiling the Minds: Brain Academy’s Psychological Quiz
Entertainment Meets Psychology in Channel A’s Latest Show
Channel A’s ‘Brain Academy’ is back with its second episode, where cognitive psychologist Professor Kim Kyung-il takes the stage as the master of psychology. In this intriguing episode, Professor Kim challenges the ‘Brain 6’ with a series of psychological quizzes, promising an engaging interaction that showcases their chemistry.
Professor Kim’s Insight on the ‘Dark Triad’
During the episode, Professor Kim captivates the audience with a discussion on how the brain operates in fundamentally different ways for some individuals. He introduces the psychological term known as the ‘Dark Triad’, composed of Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy.
When asked about familiar traits among the triad, Ha Seok-jin astonishingly comments, “Don’t we all have a bit of this?” This prompts laughter and jest from others, with Gwedo teasingly dubbing him ‘Dark Ha Seok-jin’.
The Power of Cognitive Analysis
On the contrary, Jeon Hyun-moo asserts that he lacks any power-hungry traits, a claim that Professor Kim expertly dissects, leaving Jeon astonished. The episode deepens its dive with Professor Kim discussing Robert Hare, the Canadian forensic psychologist, whose work on the PCL-R remains a cornerstone in assessing psychopathy.
A Suspenseful Quiz
The anticipation builds as Gwedo speculates whether the upcoming quiz might reveal a psychopath among them, declaring that whoever answers correctly could be one. Lee Sang-yeob joins the quiz with experience, having portrayed psychopathic roles in dramas, while Gwedo creatively suggests using dating scenarios to decipher the answer.
Can the Brain 6 solve this puzzle together? Tune in to Channel A at 10 PM on the 5th for an enthralling episode of ‘Brain Academy’.
