Any psychologist on this forum?

you used I sixteen times in your post.
the market will prove your sense of self importance to be wrong very quickly.

contradict. talking about personal experience at times might require the usage of the word "I" more often. no big connection to trading result obvious to me.
 
u r spoiling it mate... that was just an innocent test, see what the reaction was... control, anger, good sense of 2nd degree etc... also, seems our lil' "punk" here is smart enough to take care of that by himself, no need to be over-protective ;-) peace

Including contractions, inCom used "You" seventeen times in his post.

...also, I used "I" twenty-three times, not sixteen.

The length of your last post shows that you're probably unsure of your arguments, and you're right. Think about it. You are trying to replace quality with quantity, just as you previously did trying to replace substance with boldness. But quantity alone is rarely a good substitute for quality, just as arrogance alone is not for substance and competence. I have no problem with arrogance per se, it can even be instructive and inspirational, WHEN there is substance behind it. You EARN the right to be arrogant.

If those professors really told your GF that psychology is just common sense/useless, well they are wrong. And they are not very good teachers anyway.

So it's their opinion or is it yours? Because you replied to another poster saying "that was my opinion and he couldn't accept it". Now you're saying it's theirs. Whose it is?

By the way, a high school questionnaire doesn't even compare to a university exam, at least in my country. There is no way a student could pass an university exam here by "common sense" alone. Also, many exams are still written AND oral.

"the average joe does not have much common sense"

This statement is clearly and plainly contradictory. "Common" sense means pretty much everyone has it. So how can't the average Joe have it?

However, I don't think you're a "punk" college boy. You're still a boy and I'm ok with that. If I'd think you were a punk I'd say that to you but you don't come across as such, so don't behave as one and be more precise in your statements. I see that you worked with problematic children and that's honorable. I suppose you put effort and dedication in it and got results. Would you feel ok if someone came to you and say "Anyway, what you're doing is useless"?

So just say "ok maybe I was wrong" and everything will be fine.

pretty long post for a guy who's so sure of his arguments methinks... what say u prof? inspiring?

more seriously, why do u think does psychology have such a poor image worldwide and how do we go about fixing this? who would be the leading psychologists of today and the latest key results / achievements from a scientific standpoint?

sorry, you asked someone else, but i would like to comment. i think the next breakthrough in the science of consciousness lies in meditation. scientific stuff, not esoteric bubbling.

just MY 2cents ... :)
 
i learned my technique with an indian monk. that is almost a decade back and he now comes to the west just a few weeks per year. two days ago i joined a meditation class with him on one of these occasions. was very great.

he uses to say: one once of practice is worth tons of theory. he is so right.

and this thing is amazing. amazing. amazing.
but tough to follow. if you made it as a trader
you might have a chance to "make it" as a
meditator. no, just kidding. but the amount of
necessary discipline is quite similar.

the amount of shift in consciousness is still
puzzling me.
