--Ns are so vague! I like to have things planned out, and when I ask for input and get a response like "whatever," or "I don't know" then it kind of bugs me. Being SJ it's hard for me to have an N teacher, because they tend to be so vague with homework assigments and due dates. Maybe this has to do with J/P too, but N has a lot do with it. An N teacher would say "write a summary on this story, I'll collect it next week sometime.." and an S teacher would say "Read paragraphs one and two and respond to the questions on page 32. This is due May 12th." I know this is slightly exaggerated, but I need those details, specifics, and guidelines when I have to do a project.
I'm a little like this with some professors. I had a professor this quarter in art history (she was a pretty good professor, don't get me wrong) who didn't give clear specifications for a research paper she wanted (and I don't need someone to hold my hand through the project, I just like to know the bare minimum expected)...but she said she wanted X number of pages, and then suddenly she wanted Y number of pages, and then she wanted it single-spaced, then double-spaced, then illustrated, then illustrated only if we felt like it...drove me up a wall. I think this is a J thing. Because I do like it when I know what a teacher wants and when they want it. That way, I can see how far I can push the boundaries in the project so I can have fun with it.
