Very interesting poll! I'm a more than one! I'm primarily in developmental but my actual specialization is Cognitive and Developmental Sciences!I 

I wish more people would comment their areas! Related, one of the labs I'm working in is a computational/cognitive/developmental lab, but I'm actually planning on going into clinical, with a slight chance at cognitive neuroscience.

I'll be pursuing Clinical (Neuro)Psychology, but my area of research is looking to be Cognitive Neuroscience venturing into Social Neuroscience. Is that diverse enough?  :P

Political, so I'll be doing a lot of cognitive research (that looks like social research) and hopefully incorporating some cognitive neuroscience. Apparently I like to be difficult/do all the fields, haha.

Clinical Social and cognitive neuropsych, with a little evolutionary thrown in. I want to research morality from the all angles as the scientist, practitioner & advocate. So it's a little broad.

Rather surprised, no cognitive and or development votes yet. 

 

I think because cognitive and developmental psychologists tend to see themselves as mixed medium researchers.

From someone who fits this description (but is primarily developmental), I agree! I claimed mixed media as I work in cognitive development and because my specific specialization within my program places emphasis on both! Edited by FantasticalDevPsych

Counseling here, with School as a second choice. I want to practice in university settings, but if that's not possible then I'll take the the young'uns =P

I really want to do Cognitive Neuroscience but applying to Clinical, School psych, and mental health Counseling. I really want to have a specialization with disorders in children
