    eseteacher got a reaction from George87 in A bit off topic.   
    My parents are in the medical field and I believe that inspired me to go towards medicine. Originally, I was studying to be a doctor. I realized that I wasn't enjoying my Biology major and skipped over to another field. Also, I'm INFP  I think for me it is mainly nurture. Would I still bea nurturing person like my father and mother? I'm not sure. I like to imagine I"m a little bit of both, but the inspiration and love from my family definitely persuaded me to go into medicine.

    I used to use Myers-Briggs and it did help in my career search. INFP (or J, not sure) here!

    Much like others here, I didn't take care of a parent growing up, but my mom is in the medical field (nurse practitioner).  When I was first starting college 4 years ago, she kept saying how one day I'm going to get a graduate degree as well.  Back then, I was like absolutely not, but look at me now!
    I'm also an INFP; I've tested INFJ as well on a few occasions.  I think a lot of my INFP personality preference is nature.  I've had pretty much the same core personality all of my life, although living life and growing up has likely shaped my personality as well (nurture).  As in, I've always more or less been a quiet person (which is actually sort of ironic that a lot of us here are introverts, since SLP is supposedly a very extroverted field), and I've liked language and creative tasks.  Really I haven't seen too much of a change in these traits, and if anything I feel like my creativity and love of language have become more apparent as I've gotten older and sort of "come into my own."  So overall I'd say more nature than nurture, but I think both have played a role for me personally.
    I think SLP is suited for people with NF preferences, since it involves so much caring for others and an analytical nature.  I know people with NF preferences are definitely suited for the arts, teaching, and counseling, and SLP involves a bit of all of these skills.
    Interesting discussion though! I'm actually taking personality psych at the moment so I can see some of these concepts at work here

    Sometimes you just know. I already accepted my position and paid my deposit. However, if there is an inkling that you might lean to somewhere else wait a week and then tell the school.

    Don't give up, your stats aren't bad and you can still get into schools. If you want to avoid using an online source, although I was happy with Magoosh as well, I was very happy with Manhattan 5lb GRE book. You can look it up on Amazon. That thing is awesome.
