OK, I lurk on the med forums and am again applying the logic here.
That said, is the social environment of a clinical PhD cut throat? Are people assertive? Talking over each other? Who's favored? What are their traits?
There was some consensus med forums that beyond studies, the gregarious, assertive, jolly talkative type got the step up; so is it the same for clinical psych? Being in academia, I would imagine there's more tolerance for those a couple standard deviations towards the reserved, ""thoughtful"" category (or any category, hypnosis still being an active area and all) ? I'm just curious what knee jerk reactions this brings up.
Maybe I'm trying to game stuff I cannot even imagine yet, since from my understanding, we're talking very different people between different research areas (let alone between different kinds of professional schools/academia, etc). That's fine too!
Regardless, thanks.
