If they are anywhere decent at their job they shouldn't be put off by this. You will not come across as arrogant. It may help you discuss certain issues better. Yes, there is a lot go woo. I steer clear of it now and focus on peer-reviewed studies. My T and I regularly refer to such studies, and I find it very fruitful.

I've read some cool peer reviewed stuff this afternoon. Particularily about seasons and personality and bipolar. If you are highly open to experience as a personality trait you are more likely to suffer from BP. This is a trait I always thought of as a gift. And then there is the neurotic trait side. Not the fun one.
And science training is science training. We need more of it.
It's cool that your T refers you to evidence based stuff and that you can share info about studies. I can refer to papers too.
I can refer people to a SERIOUS legit personality test if anybody thinks it may be fun or useful.
