    I "study" a lot of things shallowly; pretty much only psychology with any real depth. In most areas of investigation I stop reading when I have a general idea of how to quickly look the information up.

    I pretty much never read books. I like reference materials, summaries, bullet-points and look-up tables.

    psychiatry is full of LIIs, that's my impression at least

    I have met only one non-academical LII, but she was quite young. She had studied clothes design or something like that. But it was too much practical detail work for her. She's now going back to school to become a writer or journalist.

    When one LII I know was at the university he tried to pass his exams with as little work as possible. He could start reading for tests just one or two days before, when other people prepared for weeks. He said it's all about self confidence and just reading the most important things. I think he even felt that reading for tests was a waste of time, he made it a challenge to optimize his studying time and not conform to habits that other people took for granted. He has sometimes given me the advice that I should start doing some assignment as late as possible and then just finish it by using the time I have at my disposal, which means very little time. I can understand the point of such a strategy, but it doesn't always work for me.

    A little off topic, but LIIs are fascinating.

    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Paragraph describes my study strategy as well. As for subjects I personally found the sciences to be most appealing but I could imagine enjoying engineering, math, economics or psychology too.

    Science, philosophy, religion, socionics, computer programming, music and logic.

    Yeah, every other time I do a paid psychology study at the university, it's being run by an LII.

    I like biology and animal behavior in general. I also am fascinated by film, the creative process of making it, and everything that goes into it. I one day dream of being a video editor. One topic that fascinates me is cryptozoology, and I like reading up on all the critters that may or may not be real: Nessie, Ogopogo, the flatwoods monster. Astronomy and space is another topic that fascinates me. I like English and literature too, and psychology.

    Pretty much anything, but more interesting is how the pursuit of knowledge for them is not necessarily a means to any particular end.

    Themselves (especially their past errors in judgement) and everything deemed relevant to future decisions and or projects; for example, I learned everything about house construction so as to design and build with my own hands the home in which I currently reside. My high-school teachers assumed that I would be a journalist (I did like history and current events) but I went into communication and control system engineering because it required little reading or study; project work with others was the most challenging aspect of my education. I took to engineering like a duck to water but according to tests, I had no aptitude for it. I avoid picking up a book because I know that I'll obsess about finishing it, which takes away a lot of the potential enjoyment....

    I enjoy:

    - popular science (e.g., 'A Brief History of Time', 'The Emperor's New Mind', 'QED', etc.)
    - 'hard' economics (e.g., actual textbooks on the subject)
    - popular philosophy (e.g, 'Philospohy Now', 'Think', etc.)
    - sometimes the 'hard' sciences (e.g., 'The Feynman Lectures on Physics')
    - books on sports analytics (e.g., 'The Art of Smart Football')
