Are there any of you out there? How does it affect you?
Adderall gave me psychosis and some brain damage. If I were you, I would stay the hell away unless you want to create dyslexia.
I was particularly wondering about ENFP's since we are kind of naturally ADD anyway.
Exactly. There was someone on this forum that once said the psychiatric business is looking to turn all the NPs into SJs. I couldn't have agreed more.
Disagree! I am "E" and quite ADDYes I can relate to that. but I think to answer your original question NP's that are extraverted are more likely to be deemed hyperactive and I's innattentive. .
Yes I can relate to that. but I think to answer your original question NP's that are extraverted are more likely to be deemed hyperactive and I's innattentive. I think though that medication is prescribed more to those who don't necessarily do the best in school. I don't think its a case of intelligence just the SJ bias in not valuing or understanding the NP thought process, or making any attempt to cater to it like Magic Poriferan pointed out.
In terms of whether medication is over prescribed for ADD though I would have to say yes. I think that on some level though it is necessary to string out thoughts and actions for a certain amount of time even for NP's.
my friends are always amazed at how little i learn from class! what i mean is. im that guy who literally learns NOTHING from class...i just get distracted and bored/mind wanders.
i learn best in three situations:
1. i have a slave driver (like a cheerleader who makes sure your doing what your doing ...think of that FJ friend haha)
2. i want to impress someone (i swear i go into NTJ mode and i literally can become the terminator)
3. I lock myself in a room with nothing but a desk and a chair + book. (any other medium and i get distracted)
do any other ENFPs have this terminator mode? ....like i usaully screw around in school (not on purpose) and do bad on the first test...procrastinate, learn nothing from lecture...and then i snap and go into terminator mode where i talk to no one and study for 4 hour intervals of extreme focus. i think its because i just cant do "relaxed" studying...my Ne will lead me away if im not locked into the Ni-Si/Te axis....
what if you could like package a storm...into a box?!
