Success without passion? Forum

By the way, this MB test amazed me when my description stated that "I often argue points I don't even believe in just to test them out for myself." I nearly spit up my drink when I read that, because I do that shit all the time. I get in debates and argue whatever point I feel like just to get a better understanding of it myself. All my relatives think I'm some sort of raving lunatic, and I never quite understood that. I really do take debate as a way to work out both my and my adversaries opinions, while most people (I assume) actually do it to try and convince not themselves but the other person. That was the point that sold me on such a simple personality test.

Isn't that a Philadelphia Lawyer?

I have no idea what this means.

right, saw those. I was thinking just posting raw numbers

Oh holy shit, you want a thread where everyone would post their IQ?

Yeah, that would be amusing, and totally useless. You'd get a lot of "I don't know my exact IQ but it's OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAND" and "My IQ is 167" followed by "My IQ is 168" followed by "haha u guyz my iq is 169" and "Whatever CE2JD says his IQ is, subtract 20 points" and "this thread should prove conclusively that URMs do not belong in top law schools". The ending would be an epic flamefest that went on for days/weeks/month until a mod finally decided to spoil the fun by locking the thread.

I'd like to see a thread where people just actually post their IQ, but it ain't gonna happen.

Part of this problem is that IQ is always measured in different numerical standard deviations based on WHICH test you took. I've seen my IQ range 30 points one way or another based on which test I've taken, even though the SD is almost always the same.

It's an expression for a lawyer that knows the minutae of the law and is excellent at oral argument.

ah, i guess.... I am interested in going into criminal law (prosecution or public defender)

Exactly. It would be a mess, so no one would dare. Besides, apart from different tests using different numbers ranges, and thereby invalidating any accurate comparison, there's an unspoken, maybe, rule that one does not disclose one's IQ number. Many times, people don't even know theirs. It remains a secret on your transcript unless you request it.
I wasn't bringing it up to incite anything, or start a brag-fest. Just wondered in the light of the Meyers-Briggs topic. Peace out!

edit: N/M E=1 N=1 F=21 P=13 Those are all low, right? I barely have a personality.

on a side note, just skimming that other thread, I noticed that every other INTP was a male, not a single female. I wonder if females are ever INTP.

I have some extra personality I don't need. Can we trade?

Well, It would be quite consistent with your personality type to help out someone less fortunate.

It wouldn't be any kind of help, I'm afraid. Strong emotions cause any number of problems. People tell me not to take TLS so seriously, but I literally cannot follow their advice.

Your lower numbers probably mean you have well developed strengths on the opposite side. It's better to be good at everything.

It's apparently also consistent with OS's type to try to interpret everything for others from the most positive angle possible. For example, she always tells me I'm not an asshole. I really am, but she's sweet enough to disbelieve it.

Actually in that case she's being nice to the rest of TLS by letting them tell you instead.

I actually think my particular brand of assholishness fits in with TLS pretty well. That must be why no one - for the most part, anyway - seems to call me out on my rather prickly posts.

I don't even consider your posts assholish.

Hahaha, very true. I wish I could be "glass half full" like that

......according to Isabel Briggs Myer's seminal study on type, ENFP is the second likeliest of the 16 types to drop out of law school. surpassed only by INFP. All the NT types are likely to stick with it. The challenge for ENFPs is too many passions, not lack of any at all. I just told my parents that I really want a JD/MSW, and it might make sense to go for it if my grades suck or legal hiring doesn't pick up. Helping people in a non legal capacity >>> doc review in a biglaw basement somewhere.

Barack Obama's an ENFP.

Maybe that explains why he didn't go after Big Law.

Teaching and public service on the other hand seemed to come quite naturally to him.

Edit: Bill Clinton's an ENFP as well

Most people don't. That genuinely surprises me at times.

Dresden, darling, for the last time, you are NOT an asshole. There is a reason I defended you to my own classmates after the cesspools comment. I would not have done that for an asshole.
