No not at all! That was very helpful! I'm posting on Reddit right now, haha.

Great, thank you so much for your suggestions! I'll look into r/IOpsychology for sure.

I was thinking Master's, which I've heard is more of the applied side than PhD.

Hi everyone! I'm posting to get some advice on whether there's a type of personality that would be better suited for a career in industrial organizational psychology. I'm a fairly introverted person, and while I do enjoy socializing and meeting people, I'm not sure I would do that well in a leadership position. Looking at the job description for I/O psych, it seems like there is a managerial or leadership-like role that's inherent in the job. Would there be options in the field that involve more of a behind-the-scenes role, or one that's heavier on writing and editing? I'm currently a senior psych student in undergrad, and love psychology and would want to apply to grad programs in I/O psych. I just want to make sure it's not too disparate from my personality. Thanks in advance!
