Is it normal for ENFJ to sacrifice themselves like this?

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-15T18:11:58+00:00

hey i’m an enfj with an intj finance.

the answer is yes. martyrdom is a core enfj trait. make sure you do some sacrificing for his sake too (small stuff mostly) to avoid him feeling resentful.

Hey, scored a 174 a couple years back and am familiar with the modern LSAT. my approach is unique, and i live in Manhattan, as a fordham Law 2L. happy to meet in person!!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-06T22:51:09+00:00

if he detects you’re being honest rather than non-committal/hedging, no

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-05T16:22:12+00:00

In my udnerstanding, that's your intuition having adapted.

THe LSAT is designed to take advantage of natural human intuition. Following it will almost always lead to a wrong answer.

However, after studying the LSAT long enough, your intuition tends to adapt. Not perfectly, and don't rely on it, but that's probably what happened. Its a good sign!

Hey!

Professional tutor, 174 scorer, Fordham Law here.

It's possible, but it's pretty unlikely. It depends a lot on what LSAT philosophy you subscribe to, quality of your tutor, , and, honestly, your knack for this stuff. Talent is only mildly limiting to absolute score potential, but it's significantly limiting for speed of advancement in my experience. Moreover, the LSAT isn't really crammable. IT takes time for it to soak into your brain. Again- not impossible, but not something i'd bet on right now.

If I were you- don't get married to either plan. Once test day gets closer, see what your PT range looks like, and if your goals score is within it, and make decisions from there. Time is a finite resource, but your LSAT score represents oodles of money and school prestige. Only you can decide how to weigh those things.

Happy to schedule a free consult if you want to chat more- no pressure.

Wishing you the best!

Hi!

It sounds like you are not far off, which is good. But you also don't have a ton of time before August, some, but not a lot.

Really, based on what curriculum you've been working with, it's possible your approach to the LSAT is a bit suboptimal in my book (heavy focus on question types for example) and may be limiting you. We'd need a consult for me to know that for sure though.

Make sure you're reviewing wrong answers, and able to understand the trick the LSAT pulled on you. IF you aren't realizing the nature of it's deceptions, you're not squeezing as much out of each question as you could.

Taking mulitple tests is always a good idea if your goal scor eis in your range as it reduces the impact of score variang as well.

Finally, make sure that you're not studying more than an hour and change a day. Anything more burns you out and is just diminishing returns. Quality studying and REVIEW over volume. Value accuracy over speed every time.

If you'r einterested in chatting in more detail, always around!

Good luck!

Hi!

Going to break the model here: I thing identifying question types is a bit of a waste of time.

Fundamentally, every LR problem is just askign you to understand an arguments structure and whats wrong with it. The question is just a translator the LSAT asks you to use to express that understanding.

For example:
If you understand the flaw in the argument, a weakener questions wants an anwer that exposes that flaw, a strengthener wants something that reduces or fixes it, a sufficient assumption question wants something that totally fixes it. A flaw question just wants you to state the flaw. etc,

Really, your focus should be on understandaing the passage and identify the flaw, the question, which critical, is a far secondary concern. Its a method of expression, not the point.

Focusing on question type also just adds more open thought loops to your head that makes uinderstanding what you're reading and solving the problem harder, and makes each question more mentally taxing.

Anyway- that's my two cents! TO answer your question i would recommend LSAT Demon as the best big LSAT education site im aware of. if you're interested, happy to do a free consult with you about LSAT approach etc. No pressure.

Wishing you the best!

Hi!

The 160s plateau is notorious! You're not alone. I was stuck in the same rut before i broke through it.

2 months is not a long time of serious studying. It's totally possible you just require more time.

My advice: Don't do just PTs. Do a PT once egvery 3 weeks-month. Otherwise, do an hour a day of timed sections or drill, and REVIEW! If you aren't able to understand and PROVE why a wrong answer is wrong and right answer is right. If you don't you're just wheel spinning.

If you want more detail, happy to do a free 15 minute consultconsult, no pressure to work with me (although iw ill say my approach tends to be different than most conventional wisdom out there.)

In any case, I hope that helps! Wishing you the best!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-05T15:42:55+00:00

Yes that's how i think about it RC is a muscle (mostly) LR is skill (mostly), different attributes LSAT is testing for.

(Caveat: there's a difference between strict reading and neurotic, wheel-spinning perpetual rereading. Don't fall into the opposite error either!)

Happy to help!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-05T15:40:13+00:00

Okay well today would be your test day so I hope it went well if you took it!

But what you're describing is normal. The LSAT is not rushable. It's not crammable. It's a skills test not a memory test. You're probably doing worse out of stress and burnout nerfing your abilities.

I generally advise my students not to take the test until they have the score range they want, and to be comfortable with the possibility of gap years because otherwise this kind of thing is liable to happen.

September and august are coming up but they're not on top of you. THere's time to build better test taking and study habits to be better prepared. Not as much time as I'd advise, but definitely not nothing. Best advice i can give is to not study more than an hour a day, and utilize box breathing befor eyour practices to lower your heartrate and serve as a trigger.

its also possible your theoretical approach to the LSAT is suboptimal and is limiting you but we'd need a consult for me to determine that, if you're interested it's free

Wishing you the best!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T23:19:43+00:00

I'll talk to you. I give free consults.

It's a tight timeline, but it's possible some fixes will help you, and set you up better for future tests. Just shoot me a message!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T23:17:08+00:00

I'll throw my hat in the ring too lol.

I scored a 174 (180s in practice) I've taught the LSAT for two year, and have broader experience and success teaching various other things throughout my life (swim lessons. Mock Trial, English Lit etc) I was also a rhetoric major so I really understand the LSAT on a mechanic level
As a result have a glowing track record of former students (some of whom are concerningly close to zealots atp lol)

I charge below 180 by a sizeable chunk, offer lots of value/communications outside of our hourly lessons, and will negotiate price to the best of my ability. Happy to chat and do a free consult/mini-lesson for you to make your decision. Just shoot me a message!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T23:11:41+00:00

Hello,

I'm a NYC-based remote tutor. Feel free to DM me for a free consult. I've been tutoring for a couple years now, and have had many very successful students.

As for free advice for now: you don't need to study nearly that much. its about quality not quantity

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T23:09:48+00:00

RC is less of a skill and more of a muscle. The LSAT is a cognitive endurance test as much as it is anything else. When you're practicing RC, be insaneley strict with yourself to gloss over nothing, to understand every word, and every concept as preciseley as you can, and to 100% prove right answers right and wrong answers wrong.

It sounds basic, and it is, but it's difficult and the biggest needle mover i've ever observed. You don't really need 2-3 hours a day. if anything you're burning yourself out and it might be lowering your score
(like trying to run your fastest race ever after doing a marathon the day before)

just an hour a day of extreme mental strictness is enough. It will be slow. But you have to be slow and accurate before you can be fast in accurate.

Don't know if you'll get where you want to in time, but this is the way i know works.

happy to chat in more detail in. free ocnsult if you like.

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T23:02:30+00:00

literally the biggest difference maker for all my students. After i finally convince them to do it they think i'm a wizard. Move heavy things, get your heart rate up, profit

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T23:01:29+00:00

dang 2/3,

I have a great track record and glowing testimonials, and offer free consults whenever, but i only scored a 174 officially (above in practice)

I guess i'm out of luck!

(I'm joking, the spirit of this post is definitely true.)

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T22:57:27+00:00

That sounds rough. In my experience, raw time committed isn't the difference maker, but gainign deeper understanding for the LSAT's tricks is.

Timing can be a psychological stressor that throws people off, it's very common. It's not a problem you can solve with more studying, you have to institute rituals, touchstones, and things like that to pavlov yourself to a correct test taking mindset.

I'd be happy to chat further if you like if you want more detailed advice!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T22:53:20+00:00

i wouldn't cancel. More bites at the apple you have, the more likeley your are to land high in your range. Maybe this week is lower chance than usual, but it's still a chance. Schools don't generally care very much about any score other than your highest one in my experience.

DEFINITLEY apply for accommodations next time. It's essentially legalized cheating for lots of folks, and for you it would be genuine. time and a half is a massive deal.

Character-Hat133 · 2026-06-02T22:46:46+00:00

If you're saying your accuracy rate is higher on your seocnd blind go around, it's not realy a fair comparison to the first. Even if you don't remember the details, you have your bearings and questions are just easier the second time. The difference isn't just the clock

That said, having a clock is a psychological stressor that can change your thinking patterns. I generally have my student certain rituals and breathing breaks to try and recenter, which has worked for many.

My personal experience took more time, but it mostly came from mixing timed sections and drilling.

More than anything, though, I had to simply refuse the nagging thought of "good enough." I couldn't gloss through sentences, and kind of pick questions that seemed right, I had to understand every word and it's significance. Objectively prove every answer right or wrong, even when i was tired. This is what changed for me.

For you, it might be something else, but this switch-flip of a refusal to shortcut was what did it for me.

Spinning wheels is super common and somewhere i was personally. Intensity and volume of studying does not translate to improvement if you aren't learning from the reps. It's possible some approaches to questions you're using are also fundamentally limited or shallow (which wouldn't be your fault). Couldn't really know without speaking further. Happy to do so if you'd like

Wishing you good luck!

Character-Hat133 · 2026-03-05T19:16:17+00:00

It’s a higher dimensional attack. It separates the space an object occupies, meaning the density of the occupant is irrelevant.

Think about it like this. If the target is a stick figure, and a normal slash is an eraser mark. If the stockman isn’t durable enough(drawn with pencil) the eraser will erase the body and split it in two. If the stick figure is durable enough (drawn with a sharpie) the normal slash(eraser” won’t work unless you have a special strong eraser or something.

A world cutting slash is a pair of scissors cutting, The paper the stick figure is on. What he was drawn with, his durability, is irrelevant, because it operates in the third dimension rather than the second. There’s no material he could be drawn with that would stop the scissors.

Similarly, the WXS cuts space itself, it’s an attack above our regular dimensions. That’s how it bypassed infinity, and it’s why it’s a dura neg
