IEIs how would you describe your behavior in a college classroom setting? How likely are you to participate, where would you likely sit, what classroom stereotype are you likely to fill, that sorta stuff.

Very busy with work. Only kind of around.
Depends on the class. If it's English or philosophy, I'll be the kid answering every questionIf it's math or science, I'm probably in the back of class talking to a friend/taking notes/doodling.
But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies...
lol
yeah I need to get on this with the SEI's.
IME IEI's gravitate to writing, psychology, and I actually know a good deal of biology interested Beta NF's, but that may just be because I went to an aquabiology school.
I think its less of which class you need to worry about, and more of how they act socially as in what social roles.
The end is nigh

Well, i haven't started college yet, but i can probably imagine what i'd be like.
it would probably depend on several several things.
If it's a subject I'm more interested in and more informed in, then I will be rather inclined to make a good impression on the teacher; I would want others to see that I'm informed about the subject. I would probably often challenge the teacher in a respectful and inconspicuous manner to where I come off diplomatic, but be careful to not over-do it to piss them off, or create the impression that I am cocky. It's very difficult for me not to try to make these impressions, but I'll try to be modest and I'll try to focus on the task at hand, and not get ahead of myself. Basically, anyway. Classes with these topics are the ones I'd be like this in: logic, animal behavior, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, music theory (not as much), literature, sociology (not as much)
if it's one of those classes listed above, I'd probably sit anywhere, because it doesn't really matter because my focus would be really good anyway since i care a lot about it. i tend to forget about most of my concerns in classes i'm really into like that... of course unless i have romance on my mind and its not going so good for me romantically. that sort of thing to tends to get dibs on taking over my brain.all though i don't care that much where i sit, i have a tendency to gravitate to the front, because it's a bit easier to listen and get engaged that way. (by the way i tend to like getting engaged with the teacher on a conversation-basis, and also with other students but if the teacher seems dumb or annoying to me i'll probably avoid interaction most of the time. generally, engagement is great unless i'm just not in the mood that day; then i'll just kind of relax unless i feel an opportunity for me to say something insightful or missed in the discussion has arisen in which it would be easy for me to speak up. in subjects i'm not so confident in, i usually don't speak up because of course i'm afraid i'll say something stupid.
)
now for classes i'm don't particularly feel a need to make any good impression in, i'll usually always try to get a seat near the front because it is easier to focus that way. usually in class i'll be pretty quiet, because i tend to absorb information best by listening to a lecture. however, if i'm interested in someone in the room i'll probably make eye contact if possible. i guess i'll give them a sort of "look" but mostly i'll be trying to see how they might react to me based on the impression their movements and face expression and just i guess, "vibe" gives off. if i'm especially interested in someone, i'll wait til a good opportunity to make a witty comment arises; i'll try to make them exclusively laugh or smile if possible. i love doing that.
its not uncommon for me to take the role of a class-clown; when its a teacher that isn't so tolerant of fooling around i'm usually really good at making them belief i'm on the same page and can show them the respect they desire; then i can sort of make jokes and such, but i have to be very careful not to disrespect them. i often enjoy taking the place of class clown very much. however, this may not be exactly the same in college considering the technically more "mature" atmosphere (since people are older, studies more advanced). so usually i am either the one who thinks of things no one else does and asks questions that challenge the teacher... or am the one who gets the teacher to hold them in fairly high esteem; either way though, i usually use my position to get in some humor and laughs from the class; i make an effort not to make exclusive jokes with the teacher; that's just awkward and it makes the class think i'm a suck-up.
i use my humor to get comfortable in the environment (especially when its my first time in the class) so from there i adapt to everyone as a "group"; i get to know them as the "group" they are and i get to know the "feel" the emanate. when i have fully gripped this group personality, my true mood and such becomes more obvious to those around me. i'm not worrying so much about my impression and become for comfortable, and focus more easily than before. what this means is that in effect, my mood controls more of my behavior yet i am also still more focused. what this means is that i may be joking one day almost constantly, and then another day i may just be quiet and sometimes just chuckle if i think of something funny, but i'll be mostly rather serene. in other words the comfort i have gained will allow me to more openly present my mood and just be more myself.
i'm often a pretty slow tester as i look too deep into things, and overanalyse them leading to a confusion of what a question is really asking. i don't take many notes; i hate taking notes and the process of trying to take notes only distracts me and detracts from my overall consumption of the lecture. i usually never back-talk as i believe it doesn't fit well with the school setting; it should be purely academic and getting personal with a teacher (especially in this setting) seems strange and awkward to me,-- and it also distracts from the class as a whole. i like to be friends with anyone around me but prefer those that seem least judgemental to me, and the most apt to dry wit as a preference for sense of humor. this dry wit tends to pull me in to a conversation; with acquaintances i'm not very serious most of the time.
so... yeah. i'm not even completely sure of my IEI typing, but i was requested to respond as i'm sure some others were as well. and i am glad to anyway. :] as i said, i havent started college but i have been in a college setting and i've watched several college lectures and it isn't difficult to imagine what i would be like. i've also taken college-level courses which adds another dimension to my imagined behavior/tendencies in a college class room setting.

"If you can find out little melodies for yourself on the piano it is all very well. But if they come of themselves when you are not at the piano, then you have still greater reason to rejoice; for then the inner sense of music is astir in you. The fingers must make what the head wills, not vice versa."- Robert Schumann
I am a very academic person, focussing on the lecture, taking notes, trying to figure out what I need to do at home. Since middle, maybe even elementary school, putting emphasis on school/competency has been a big part of me. I am part of the honor society and consider this to be one of my proudest achievements to date. I participate in the class as much as possible but if it's a weaker subject, I get very quiet while quietly trying to understand. I'll try to comprehend information in the way that fits best. I usually try to take interest in said subject but some subjects are harder than others.
Math is one subject that has never been my strong suit. If it's a particularly cha class, then I will go to tutoring. I put a lot of emphasis on getting good grades. In the college setting, I don't interact with peers as much, but I value having a good relationship with my professor. I have talked to other classmates but I mainly keep to myself.

Make things right? Who are we to decide when things are right and when they need to be fixed?
lol. I always got annoyed with the people answering every question. They reminded me of little toys you wind up, and would never shut their stupid mouths.
I don't consider myself participative; I am highly averse to any sort of group discussion that exceeds around five or so people, and takes place in a classroom or coffee shop or any other generically "intellectual" setting. I don't have much on-campus college experience, but have been around the environment enough to glean a pretty solid understanding of my disposition. It's pretty much AP English x10, where the young minds of tomorrow come for their grand learning, take notes like mental suppositories, belch out pointless inquiries for the sake of rhetoric, and more or less get in the way. It's why I opted for online classes, but it seems even there the collective inculcation is unavoidable (mandatory forum discussions and shit). The accumulation of experience I have had in academia has led me to pretty much hate it. While real learning is something I'm a huge proponent of, it seems that too often it is the case that this never occurs, even in self-proclaimed elite. I don't bother to participate in things under a veil, so you can find me in the back of the class, doodling or reading some random shit unconcernedly.

I went to a smaller college where almost all of my classes were under 50. Some were even around 30. If it was one of those huge science classes that you just have to take to graduate, I'd sit wherever (with my friends) and doodle or gaze off, engrossed in my own thoughts. But if it was literature, art or philosophy, you'd definitely find me paying attention. I never sat directly in the front of the class, but usually off to the side or 3/4 of the way back. I wasn't one to raise my hand a lot but I loved being in that setting and hearing what everyone else had to say.

lol no it's ok, I get where you're coming from. I just hate it when people believe obviously fallacious things, like Tom's talk about anarcho-capitalismor religion; that one really bugs me. But I usually take a lot of flack when I talk smack about religion, so I save that for people who I think will actually listen and not just try to turn a debate into a verbal slugfest (I save that for nick
). But things like ontological views and politics typically aren't as sensitive, so I don't resist the urge to confront them usually
But yeah, I mean I guess if you don't feel compelled to quash stupidity, no reason to go out of your way; not exactly an endeavor that gives quick returnBut when you do change someone's mind, get them to take a more open perspective, to me, that's worth the times that people are retarded and don't listen. I've learned how to spot people who will "bend," so to speak, and I don't really waste time on people who seem bent on rationalizing their beliefs with circular logic. Unless I REALLY get my hackles up

*shrug* I only talk about the things I'm interested in. Sometimes when I'm not, if I think I can get some pull with the professor; teachers' good graces have saved me from a well-deserved F due to a missed class/late paper on multiple occasions. But I tend to ingratiate myself with authority figures naturally as long as they aren't total cocksuckers, so if it's a huge ego-blow for you to do a little sucking up, then it's probably not worth it.
You' might be missing out on meeting some reasonably intelligent people; there are at least some smart people wherever you go, whether it be an Ivy League or a community college. And yeah, the pretension is annoying, but getting over it is worth what you might learn from other people and their perspectives, or at least what they might get you to think about.It's pretty much AP English x10, where the young minds of tomorrow come for their grand learning, take notes like mental suppositories, belch out pointless inquiries for the sake of rhetoric, and more or less get in the way.

I don't bother to participate in things under a veil, so you can find me in the back of the class, doodling or reading some random shit unconcernedly.
But, more importantly, if you can do better, if you see why they are stupid, why not point them out simply for the sake of clarity? That's what got me participating in philosophy; I wasn't even interested in the subject originally, but when the professor started spouting off some existential bullshit, I couldn't help myself, so I stepped up and was just like, "Ok, look..." and it was uphill from there![]()
