I always rebelled against homework. First you force me to sit through what you think I should learn for 8 hours a day and then when I get home you think I'm gonna be willing to once more do what you want? F** off. I considered school a prison. So what I had to do to pass, I did while I was there as fast and as shoddy as I could, and the rest I just forgot about when I got home. Even if I liked the teacher, and that could've motivated me to do some homework for them, I just..forgot. School and home were two different worlds for me and somehow tasks from one never made it through to the other realm
I graduated coz I have the capacity to, as Sy said, memorize and study large quantities of material in a very short amount of time when under pressure. Was a frigging nightmare to do it too, but still, it was better than the alternative. Unfortunately that also meant that it got 'erased' after a couple of days, but that was enough to pass my finals. Also, I really cooperated in the classroom as there was just nothing else to do while I was stuck there. So most of my teachers liked me, and I did retain most of the information from their classes already that way.
I remember my ISFJ mom going crazy every time I had finals as she could not understand how I could study the way I did. She's an organisational wizard and could not understand how I was that chaotic. It stressed her beyond reason and I knew I disappointed her that way, but I always passed. She never knew whether to hug me or spank me once I got my report card. She often felt I didn't deserve to pass and at the same time was amazed that I did.
Oh well, who ever said you needed to be organized to succeed, right?
Plz note, that I do not encourage my way of doing things, as it does complicate matters for yourself
