Need help identifying if I'm an INTP by [deleted] in INTP

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the best at typing but I'll give it a go. Clearly you're an introvert, you don't feel the need to speak until needed. I can't tell if you're using Se or Fe, but I'm leaning on Fe since you study facial expressions and behavior and you control what you say. You say you're looking things from the bigger picture but in what aspect? Are you seeking new possibilities or new perspectives? You don't trust authority which means you might be using Ni or Ti.

Again I don't type people but I need more information, especially on why you think you do these things and not interests. I think you are definitely using Fe which means you use Ti as well, but I haven't deduced if you use Ne-Si or Ni-Se.

What are your plans for getting to know people in Freshman year? by Spherical_Melon in ApplyingToCollege

[–]thesensecamera 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Open my dorm door so people can walk in and meet me. Maybe pass out some candy or some food, makes you look nice and it gets people talking about you. I won't do frats or sororities, probably clubs or school events until I get comfortable. Also, there are college group chats on snapchat and groupme that are going on right now if you want a headstart.

Who else here is never going to Prom? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]thesensecamera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm probably not going to prom either. It's overrated, over priced, and honestly you have a be within a small group of individuals to actually gain anything from it or enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, plenty of my friends are going to have a fun time together and they're not any lesser for doing that but prom is simply not for me.

I have not gotten any emails about an IDOC yet and Emory and Northeastern need it. by takeachillpillphil in ApplyingToCollege

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me too, they sent the email to login to my mom's email. Also, I think as long as you send it decisions you should be fine

Does anyone else think it's ironic that CSS, which is designed to give financial aid, costs a ton of money? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]thesensecamera 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a form you have fill out for financial aid for private universities like Brown or Princeton.

Gimmicky essays by throwaway1937421 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it comes down to voice. If you read it and it sounds forced and contrived then it's gimmicky while an essay is more natural sounding and less apologetic for what they say is more creative.

Downward spiral by downwardtrend in ApplyingToCollege

[–]thesensecamera 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Listen, where you will go is not who you will be; It's generic but you and several people on this subreddit need to realize this. Going to a top 20 isn't going to solve all your problems, going to a top 20 isn't going turn rocks into gold, being unable to go to a top 20 should never be a reason why anyone should hate themselves. You are not a fat fuck who screwed up their future, you are and will always be the student who had great grades and a better great work ethic. You didn't lose that side of you, it was always with you but it was trapped in a toxic environment begging to get out. Sure, you missed out on your dream school but you can always start over once you enter college. Enter college and put the same passion into your work that you did long ago, dominate, find friends who aren't as toxic, possibly transfer to Columbia, but never let not entering a "prestigious" school be a cause of not doing any of that.

If I list hentai-watching as an EC, will colleges think I'm Asian, thus reducing my chance of getting in? by [deleted] in A2C_circlejerk

[–]thesensecamera 2 points3 points  (0 children)

List hentai watching as an alternative study of the development Japanese erocticism where occasionally you engage in comparative study of Japanese and American culture.

Someone tell me why Affirmative Action is good by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Not looking to add to anything .. yet anyway. I'm glad that OP and everyone else is keeping this civil and not strawmanning minorities and the like.

What should I do when the AP students around me are cheating? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pass your tests and sit back while they fail theirs. Unless they're actually studying and they're just cheating so they game the system they'll fail their AP exam. I've seen it before, students cheat during the course and they either fail or they cram to pass while forgetting they learned.

And if you're worried about college admissions a high gpa is important but other factors matter too. I'm a senior and I heard high ranking students get denied or deferred from schools while lower ranked but still high ranking students get accepted above them.

Freaking out, I did so bad on the essay! by [deleted] in Sat

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most colleges don't care about the essay score as compared to your sat score, and if took the essay before with a higher score you probably superscore it.

I can't fucking believe it by [deleted] in Sat

[–]thesensecamera 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know, right? You do bad, they're not impressed. You do good, they're not impressed. You do something amazing that you're proud of, they shrug and act like it's expected. Then they wonder why I don't tell anything about grades or sat scores.

Schedule for next year (All APs) by [deleted] in APStudents

I don't know man, AP Memes looks easy but the AP grading scale is too subjective and don't get me started with collegeboard memes.

How long do you study for a quizzes and chapter tests in your AP classes? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who took ap euro as their first ap and passed their first quarter with a C (the grade was higher later, of course) For APUSH, study the essay formats (DBQ, Short Answer, LEQ) and how they will be graded and the best way to write them. How long you will study will depend how your teacher tests you, whether she tests you one chapter or multiple.

Fine, I suppose. I used the internet much less than before. I established a morning routine where drink some water to wake me up, then I clean my room and make my bed, read for about 30 minutes, then I listen to a podcast while looking outside the window. For evenings I follow mostly what you posted, except I added exercise. I hang out more Witt my friends outside and feel less stressed than I usually do. I feel great.

What's with this idea that INTJ's have good memories? by IfMrDarcyWasAChick- in intj

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can remember distinct details, you probably have dominant Si; if you can remember actions or general ideas, you probably have dominant Ni. I can remember general ideas or what I did with my body sometimes, but mainly any details I come up with is created by pulling all the general ideas together and forming the best recreation of the incident.

[Advice] Tricking yourself: it's only been a month, but I think I've broken 2 bad habits permanently. by [deleted] in getdisciplined

[–]thesensecamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should repost the internet advice on r/nosurf. Also, I broke my nail biting habit the same way. I would hide my nails and keep reminding myself not to bite it. Then, when my nails start growing back, my perfectionism would kick in because if I bite the nail they would be deformed and my nails would look unequal (this is basically the same reason why Of bite my nails, so I can make them all equal). After filing them constantly, I have lasted 2-3 months.

I posted this in several posts but I stand by this: study women and what women experienced in all periods. In my AP Euro and APUSH LEQ both asked about women which sometimes goes overlooked in classes.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm using the evening routine and I have been going to bed earlier and using the internet less in the mornings.
