Law Enforcement?

[zach]

Any of us in Law Enforcement? I don't know how well an INTP would do as a patrol officer (due to our indecisiveness), but I think that we would make excellent detectives. I often think I would make an excellent Deputy U.S. Marshall, due to the fact that given the resources, I could find everything I'd want to know about someone. This may be somewhat stalker-ish, but if I meet someone new that I don't know, especially if they'll be making contact with my family members, I want to know as much about them as quickly as possible. Anyone else like this, or is it just me?

I do have a criminal justice background of sorts, but I would have trouble closing my case and reporting my findings as a detective. Besides, how in the hell am I supposed to find all the little shit on the ground left by the perp with teritiary internal sensing ...

of sorts? I'm sure you'd be better than you think. We're open to more possibilities than sensors, so while it make take us longer to find our evidence, we'd have more. More evidence = stronger case.

I have found meaningful details -- details that can be used to create context -- no problem. Never get tired of them. It's like drawing a picture or something. And we are apparently wired to both perceive context and to do it without conscious thought sometimes. When I'm in full writing mode, I can research details for days, just packing them in the brain, and I'll wake up one morning with a Good Idea that people will Like to Read related to all those details.

It is the meaningless details -- the annual audit of paper clip use -- that makes me tired. I mean really really really tired, but you know what I mean already....
