Do you like analyzing?

Post Reply New Topic

I grew up liking detective books and have always been curious about the world around me. When I did homeschool a guy would call and ask my interest and tailor books to them. Well I told them I was curious why is grass green the sky blue etc. he then persuaded to bump me up a grade!! !! So 7th grade work (we didn't find out till years end) WAS 8th grade WORK YA! The other day was Black Friday and I'm already thinking ahead to next year for example IMO IF the economy DOES bounce back will the deals be as good as 2009 was. (My mom says she has other things to think about besides something a year from now LOL!) Once again when my Aunts Birthday was this Thanksgiving I google Nov.26th/Thanksgiving and it will not happen again until 2015. I LOVE finding facts and data. So I ask 2 questions

1) Do you like Analyzing things?

2) What job would be good for someone of this nature?

NO Computers BTW College Algebra SUCKED!

HIGHLY thinking Psychology but to be honest that falls sadly into "narrow" interest AKA I don't CARE what the teacher is teaching only what I AM INTERESTED IN! (Sure I can learn what everyone else is but I'm more satisfied with learning about more indepth Psychology topics.)

Analy-ZING topic

I was born to analyze. It is as normal/necessary to me as breathing.

My math ability is average. I prefer to use math as a tool to accomplish interests. But it is an interesting subject to analyze.

A great job would involve creativity. I see a strong correlation between creativity and analytical ability. Any career that has even a modicum of independence and needs people to solve problems is going to involve analysis.

I know what you mean by being only interested in your interests. Unfortunately, you will have to learn a lot of crap along with the juicy stuff.

Sometimes i wish I was younger and just starting out, but I can still learn from books and my own research.

I'm fine with analyzing, but I don't like anal-yzing. When I analyze something too much I end up going in circles, hurting my head, and making mountains outta mole hills. I prefer simply using my intuition though. It feels a lot smoother.

1) Do you like Analyzing things?

absolutely. I recognize patterns and have excellent 'hunches' when given a specific scenerio that I can research until I either prove the issue or be taken in the direction of what is actually going on. I have found that not restricting myself by attachment to my hunch but just using it as a springing board makes me more effecient.

2) What job would be good for someone of this nature?

I have developed my talent into a decent job with a health insurance company detecting health care fraud. It can be fascinating when it is pure analysis. It is also a hassle because I have to relate to people while I do it.

your mileage may vary.

1. YES

2. Forensics

Sound like intellectual overexcitabilitie. http://giftedkids.about.com/od/gifted101/qt/intellectual_oe.htm

1) Yes I always analysing things.

2) Someone mentionned being scientist. Maybe you should analzyse data in psychological resarchs. As for me, there's no good job
for me anyway.

(BTW Scientist, what is psychophysic?)

I like to analyze people. I can usually listen to them for a few minutes and get right at their problem or the way of thinking thats causing their problem. Really. I would be very good as a psychologist, but I lose interest in anything once it becomes a paying job, plus thats just too much work to do right now and I couldnt keep up with my house and kids and husband if I went to school now. I don't really want to go out and work. And I would start to hate it. For a while I wanted to be a funeral director, a private detective, a bounty hunter, a bartender, a doula. I got a job training to be each of those. For the funeral director job, I worked at a funeral home for a few months and was observing and watching in the prep room and would be able to start assisting there as soon as I started school for it. I lost interest. For the PI and bounty hunter jobs, I got a job with a PI firm owned by a married couple, and a bondsman, respectively. I did those for a few months each, and lost interest. For the doula, I took some classes my midwife reccommended and got certified and started working with the doula who was at my births. Lost interest. I still think I might like to be a cop or a nurse, which I almost got my degree in both criminal justice and nursing before, but I'm sure I'd lose interest there too.

who is just in way too talkative a mood today

Analysing things is great work. Analysing incidents on software is one of my favourite jobs.

But I also like to work at policies and tactics. It does not seem analytical at first, but it is still needed. Sifting trough great amounts of information and getting the essential parts out. Also looking for weaknesses in the used theories.

One fascinating job was working with an insurance fraud computer system. Insurance fraud is really fascinating. Maybe you could do something for a insurance company?

I too analyze a lot, especially people. I have trouble being too alone; I actually really like interact with people. I find myself can't be in a reclusive place (like some studies of physics) for too long. I would feel that my life is meaningless, all I do is things not connected, and I get depressed. In the range of things, I personally like the following:

physics -> international relations -> psychology

I breathe and I analyze. It is what I do.
