What a load of shit.
Holy shit. You studied for 8.15 hours a day??? The fuck? I don't study that much for an entire semester combined.
Introversion - may provide an ability to concentrate & not get distracted by social stuff (ie. talking in class). May be more likely to spend time alone to study/read.
Ne - grasps theory very well, sees patterns, enjoys new ideas, is creative
Fi - has a strong value system, albeit detached from the external standards. May or may not value traditional education. This probably has the most bearing on whether an INFP chooses to make the effort. Fi is also a rational cognitive function which evaluates and reasons. That makes it has a lot of potential for critical thinking skills so useful in an academic setting.
INFPs are also over-represented in colleges and universities according to some studies (can't find the link, sorry), so it seems they do well enough to pursue higher education & to be accepted there.
Personally, school was a breeze for me & I had excellent grades. I might have "under-achieved" in that I slacked because I got bored, but I still did much better than most of my schoolmates. College was also pretty easy, and I enjoyed it a lot more.
Which type would be the least likely to get high grades or perform as well as inherent abilities should suggest?
INFP?
I= not participating
N= no common sense
F= overly sensitive and emotional and tear-clouded judgment
P= lazy slobs
Or maybe INTPs, since they're the same as above except their "T" is more worried about Star Wars, RAM drives and tantric philosophy than academics, and they seem like smartasses.
No offense of course. I can see someone coming at me with a derogatory ESTJ letter breakdown. lol (But don't do that, focus on my question.)
wow you're really an arse. you know what, before i read your thoughts, off the top of my head i was just thinking ESTP. and guess what? it's actually your type.
