The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

So, how has psychology specifically benefited you in that regard?

A Oh my gosh. A conversation for another day is, um, how not beneficial and how just messed up our higher education system is in the United States in general. Again, we could talk about that another day, but one of the reasons I bring that up is, you know, there are so many Americans that get a degree in something that they will never actually use in their professional career. Or they got that chemistry degree or that biology degree to then go on to eight, 10, 12 more years of schooling, residency, on and on and on in order to finally become that doctor, but have crippling debt. Um, psychology, I actually believe is one of those degrees that you can do so much with, because ultimately in order to do well in life, You need to be able to get along with other people. You know, that may not be true for every single job. Blanket statement here. I know plenty of accountants that like sitting behind a computer screen or website developers that like sitting behind a computer screen. And part of what they love about that job is kind of the anonymity of not having to interface with a customer or a client or another human all day, every day. But if you are someone that is in A sales role, a client facing role, a professional services role, and a doctor, a therapist, and on and on and on.
