KeelyMK Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Two INTJs, one INFP, one INTP and one ENFP. Is the N function integral for grad school in the humanities? I'll rep ENTP. Hella N's. http://www.personalitydesk.com/personality-types
It's (Not) About Me Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I'm also ENFP! Sometimes I feel a bit outnumbered (even occasionally misunderstood) by my more introverted colleagues, even though I'm only an E by about 51%. I definitely get my energy from being around people (which I've read is really what is meant by introversion/extroversion). Nevertheless, speaking in front of large groups makes me nervous. I'm still working on the "performative" aspects of teaching; I think I excel one-on-one. And I've always loved meeting new people. Hoping to meet many of you in the future! Hah, I am pretty firmly E--that's one thing that never varies when I take Myers-Briggs tests. I am also a Leo, which also supposedly means that I am outgoing and like to be the center of attention. I find it interesting (if not meaningful) when my personality traits actually correspond with what astrology says.

I'm talkative and an extremely "performative" teacher but love to be alone. Hell is other people. In my current situation (Masters' level professional program for overachievers), I'm a INTJ in a sea of ESTJs. Edited February 15, 2013 by ErnestPWorrell
intextrovert Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Two INTJs, one INFP, one INTP and one ENFP. Is the N function integral for grad school in the humanities? The N function is about a preference for abstract thinking and making connections between ideas, as opposed to a more concrete, sensory, fact-based orientation towards information. So yes, it makes sense that it is very common among academics, particularly in the humanities. In the general population, 75% are S, and that number is reversed plus some towards N in academia. -an ENFP/INFP - I'm right on the border and get each result about half the time. patientagony 1

Datatape Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Admitted to UNC Chapel Hill! Congrats! Phenomenal school and program. What's your area of interest?
asleepawake Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Way to go, LisaJay, mostlytoasty, and isol3!! Congrats all around! INTP here....In my department the most overwhelmingly shared letter among grad students and faculty seems to be I ( from my observation...not enforced institutional testing ). Makes for great parties A few drinks gets that kind of party going! Also, I agree that N = humanities people generally, but not always, of course. I always score like 96% N.

InHacSpeVivo Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Congrats to all the recent acceptees! AMAZING news!
dazedandbemused Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Wow ya'll, it's been amazing morning! Congratulations!
lewisthesamteenth Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 A hearty congratulations to the Cornell, Princeton, and UNC-Chapel Hill acceptances so far today !!! With any luck, there will be many more to come !
skybythelight Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Congrats to all of you acceptees today!
yellow.wallpaper Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I would think that it's an unofficial acceptance? You could always call them up and ask about it? (And then you can ask why I haven't heard anything from them yet! ) Either way, congrats on the nomination! . Thank you! I will! And I'm sure you'll hear back from them soon. My boyfriend called his top choice a few days ago and the admissions officer told him to relax an that the Admissions Committee still has a lot of applications to rummage through. Which means there's hope!!!
Sursie Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Admitted to UNC Chapel Hill! Congratulations! <3 Chapel Hill <3 Ever been there?
cbttcher Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Anyone want to claim Brandeis? Or was someone just trying to be funny?
