Hello - As I wittle down on my choice of POI for each school, I have some particular concerns which are difficult to find information on. First: I've noticed at my own school that the Psychology professors are somewhat lacking or devoid of social skills and I'm worried that if my POI accepts me and I accept them in return, that I will be stuck with a people-hating curmudgeon for the next five(?) years who looks good on paper, the net, and in publications/credentials, etc. Second: Sociability matters more to me than credentials. If these people can't communicate or are partially psychopathic (an observation I've had with a few psych professors - which seems a little ironic to me - but whatever) I know I won't finish the program. I would rather be working/studying under a professor whose interests aren't a perfect match than a professor who hates people or their lives. Third: I bet some of you know some fantastic, awesome communicators, people who talk to their students like they care about them and are interested in their careers; don't try to steal their ideas, listen like a human being, talk like one in return, etc. etc. Could you please mention them here and what school they work at so I can look into their interests. I'm sure others here might be interested in this also, although I know a lot of people don't care about this sort of thing. That's ok too.
