Sharing my exp

[juansk]

Hi,
Im an INTP that would like to share something that might have learned.

Im 25, im not old, but im old enough to know where im going to.

The thing about INTP and recommended careers was kinda true to me. Im an economist and im so happy about what ive studied. It made me understand why goverment take this or that course of action, people's decisions making, trade-offs and a scientific point of view of everything, which gets along pretty well with the way my brain has been wired. So right now im writing about a critic to the phillips curve, with could be a breakthough in economic theory (im excited about it, the working paper has been very well received).

One thing id recommend is to surround with "T" people, specially when you develop your own "T". That could happen during college and right after it. Your thinking process gets way better and then you wont buy nonsense/esoteric/mundane kind of thought process.

Then, accept the fact that when you develop that "T", you'll be different. People will admire you cause of your brain power, being knowledgeable and ability to see things as a whole (underlying patterns). You wont be the popular guy just as long you dont develop your "E" or social skills, so deal with it. Work harder to get things done. Try choosing one discipline to master it, in spite of being interested in many ones. (im a musician and i love basketball and videogames, but i know my career is economics, for example).
That was helpful to me.

Ill write a couple more things when more ideas come to me in the next couple of days.
Id love to hear some of your experiences to and suggestions towards the middle age life and stuff.

Let me know!

Hi there.

In my exp economists are mostly emotional thinkers. I've tried explaining simple mathematical calculations to several, and they all drew a blank, stuck to their method of calculating the issue. It was first when I found one super senior chief analytical analyzes economist, my proposal got heard. And founding got delivered.

So it seems a long road toward rationality. If those economists I encountered where representative.

So as a T you should stick out like a sour tumb..again, those are just my exp's.

The profession is full of crap people, but there are some that have the right mindset (rational/scientific one). Those are the better ones. Id include myself into that group. Economics in not about calculating the issur, is more about understanding the relationships between variables. Once you got it right, then you calculate.

Makes sense. I assume people can understand the relationship between variables. Especially if the subject lies inside their area of expertise. In addition I also explained why the variables, made their standard method of calculation useless. And provided one that came up with true numbers.

What you say, make the situation even worse, that means they are calculating on stuff they do not understand. My idea was tested, and worked out. See, there is an area of weakness. Write new books on this. When the foundation is flawed, even a light breeze can make the structure crumble.

You're missing the point, economists can explain and even predict things. The problem sometimes is political. Sometimes politicians do things to maximize the short run chances of being re elected, and thats in detriment of the medium and long run. Its not that there's lack of knowledge, but its that the people who know how to handle the situation arent part of the government, or taking the right decisions to maximize population's welfare regarding the short, medium and long run.
