NTs and the role in economy, law and politics

[Lexlike]

Who is studying here in the forum economics, law or politology and how are you satisfied with your choice?
Which field of these 3 fits best for a NT?? Which field of law fits best and which field of economy for a intuitive Thinker??

[entropie]

My university career contains to 33% of economics. I find it ... *falls asleep*

hahaha, well is that typicall for an entp??^^( comparing my father, also entp, I would say Yes)

Btw I study law and I struggle with those fcking details, but can´t stop complayning about it... anyway because of my weakness in decision-making, I need help to "find the right path"

[entropie]

What I do not like are all these flow charts, diagramms and other things that demonstrate whats going on in an economical stable corporation. All that big business talk, I just see more as "A standing still of things" than real development :D

But I do understand its usefulness and I do it. But to complain and make fun out of it is not forbidden :)

[Kora]

I'm sure that Law is one of the best-suited careers for an xNTP.
If I weren't for sciencie, I'd like to be one of those... mh, I don't know the word in english. You know, those lawyers that defend the most ridiculous cases. It seems very funny.

I actually like the diagramms, charts and all the statistic stuff, i hate the mathematics in there like those matrix es etc. i LOVE stategic planning and everything with planning but the other stuff is boring

Hm, I know who you mean... it s could "Strafverteidiger" in German, its great for NTPs with some good developed Sensing and Feeling processes, I guess

Haha, du bist deutscher ? :D Sach doch wat xD

Er kommt aus Österreich! Alles klar?

Ah that explains why he wont talk to me :)

NTs and law? I wouldn't touch it with a pole a mile long. Too much semantics. Ditto anything with politics.

Economics? Macro is absurdly boring. Micro is interesting.

But finance and engineering are where it's at. Combine the two and you're looking at a massive power trip.

We'd probably be good at propaganda.

Anyone looking to put together a dictatorship better look to us first.

T-il prendre une INTJ de comprendre que l'Amérique est foutu? Que le vote pour leur copain wasn't boire une bonne idée? Je suis d'investir dans la bière Budweiser ... ont un sentiment, il va être de "haute" la demande.

La cerveza Budweiser se vaya definitivamente en el valor de las existencias en breve.

hahaha, nein das ist bestimmt nicht der Grund. Ich versuch fair zu den nicht deutschprachigen Forummitgliedern zu sein, damit die was verstehen....Noch dazu bin ich ja gar kein echter Ösi

Duits is n klein bietjie soos Afrikaans

ok, sorry. Did not want to derrail the thread.

I myself think that economics is an area, NT's are not likely to be found in. The friends, I have that study economics I mostly would type to be SJ's and some to be SP's maybe.

I think the highest intrest a NT could have in life, is the acqusition of knowledge, truth and new insights into the world. Guess the acquisition of money is accepted as an inherent necessity to survive by every NT, but it will never become the main focus of intrests for all time in the NT's life.

I kind of disagree, I think while an NT might not be interested in economics specifically, they are more likely to be interested in things like entrepreneurship, marketing, and market psychology.

[entropie]

Ok, this is true.

I am still waiting for my intrest in entrepeneurship to kick-in :D. It will come back again one day I am sure :)

[edel weiss]

I'm studying law, and I like it. I'd better like it, 'cause I'm definitely stuck for four more years.

I used to like economics quite a lot, actually.

[Jack Flak]

If I were to pick a field?

Economics >>>>>> Law >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Politics

[Kaizer]

Economics + math + Poli &/or Social Science (non profit orgs etc).

[FDG]

I have a BS in Economics, and I have just started my MS. I do think that the more rigorous part of microeconomics (macroeconomics is not very useful IMHO) appeals to NTs quite a lot; in fact, the great majority of my professors are INTPs and ENTJs.

Most people don't realize the vastity of the discipline. You have economic history, environmental economics, mathematical economics, econphysics, empirical approaches, game theory. There's space for every type of particular fixation towards a specific discipline.
I think that the way economics is taught in non-economics courses is often not particularly brillant and rather boring: often it's Business that has the priority over pure economcs.

You're confusing economics with business here. Business is usually centered upon the best methods for acquiring money, whereas economics (would like to be) is more concerned about the whole economic system: how it works, what can be done to make it work better and eliminate poverty, how do different type of taxes influence consumer behavior, etc. etc.

That is pretty intresting though. Most of the few NTs I know from my surroundings are into the sciences, nearly know no one from law or economics.

Most of the people I know from my economics lessons in their building suck big time. There are in their 1st semester and already think of themselves as the richest man of the world, while I struggle with my lessons in thermodynamics or fluid dynamics :D.

Pretty intresting though, maybe I have a wrong stereotypical view of the NT and do not recognize that a lot of them are here at my university in law and economics, too or they just are not.

I would say, according to my networking site, I know 64 people in my university in person. There are approximately 15 in science and I would type around 5 of them to be a NT.

37 I know, who are in some field of economics. I know about 10 of them in person and I would type 0 NT.

That makes a good idea for a new project. Watching people and finding out about possible NT-ness :D

My degrees are in math, but if I had to pick one of these three it would be economics.

[Jack Flak]

entropie, that probably has a lot to do with the fact that "People have no grasp of what they do." Their SJ mom tells them they should be a scientist because they're so smart, etc., and as stated, people equate Econ with Business, which it's not. You know the drill.

I am still interested in sciences, mind you, of every kind. However, my economic background is lower middle class; this means that I had to take into account in my decision on what I should major in of: the ease of finding an unrelated job if I were to have financial problems, and the ease of obtaining a scolarship, which is comparatively less difficult in a field where brillant students are generally less present (as opposed to the sciences).

Eheh, I actually think that you're confusing Business with Economics. The former tends to attract the people you're speaking about - those focusses on becoming the richest man of the world - whereas the latter usually is preferred by more scientifically-minded idiots. My school offers both Economics and Business Courses, and rarely I had to attend a class that was in common between the two (basic calculus, for example): the scenery was very similar to the one you describe, and I know perfectly what you mean.

I'm not sure that law attracts NTs as much as economics. Many ISTJs seem to be present in the law department of my university, for example. And, to be completely fair, even if most of my professors - and most people that have innovative, good solutions and models - are NTs, many of my classmates are not - there's 5 ISTJs, 2 ENFJs, 2 INFPs, 1 ESTP, 2 ISFJs, 1 INTP and 2 ENTJs (one of them it's me). So it's 3 out of 15.

I'm in my second year of law school, and while it's a ton of work, I do enjoy it. My undergrad degree was in political science (I also really enjoyed that as well).
