MBTI Types As Things In The Sky

The Night Before Your Exam

Hello, hi there. Recently I made a post about what to do the day of your exam and it’s still getting notes which is amazing. Thank you all. So now, please enjoy these realistic tips for the night before your exam that do not involve perfum, gum, or cramming. Please don’t cram.

Get a good night’s sleep. I know that for many of us this is a major challenge because we deal with insomnia or anxiety disorders that keep us awake. Try taking a warm bath in Epsom salts. Stay in the tub until you break a sweat. Pick your salts wisely because some of them are more energizing (i.e lavender salts are more energizing I have found).

If you are having trouble sleeping because of tension in your neck/back, try to relieve the tension by rolling out your muscles on the floor, or conciously tensing them up for about 10-20 seconds before slowing releasing. The Epsom salt bath really helps with any sort of tension. I have chronic nerve pain from a car accident and it’s one of the few things that help me that is more holistic.

Don’t shy away from melatonin. It works wonders and you won’t feel “hung over” in the morning like you may with Z-Quil. They have melatonin gummies too!

Try lowering your body temperature. Sleep naked. It’s life changing. If you can’t sleep naked (because you live in a dorm) still do your best to keep it cool. Our bodies get tired when their temps are lower.

Additionally, do not cram for any exam. The night before your exam is not the time to be learning any new material. We are way past that. Gently refresh the material that you already know; however, do focus on items you may struggle with. Remember, althetes don’t go crazy hard the day before a game - treat your brain the same way; no heavy lifting.

You may take this time to rewrite your notes. It’s a simple act that can definitely help you to remember.

Try teaching the material to someone else, or if no one else is available - stand in the mirror and give your own personal TedTalk on the subject. Hey, if it works for Sims, right? Remember that if you can teach the material, you know it. Reiterating in your own words is so helpful.

This should go without saying, but eat a good dinner.

Use the “Match,” “Test,” and “Spell” functions on Quizlet. Very helpful.

Have I said do not cram yet?

Lay out your clothes for the morning. The fewer decisions the better.

You’re going to want to wake up with enough time to review your study materials a couple more times, get ready for the day, and leave for the exam early (so that you have time to review when you get there and to ensure you are on time!) So set your alarm in advance.

Make sure that you set out your blue book, calculator, etc. so that you are prepared for the exam tomorrow and you aren’t sprinting across campus to find somewhere that sells blue books.

Triple check that alarm.

Try to limit your use of electronics 30 minutes before you need to fall asleep. I know that isn’t always reasonable though. Just make sure your phone is plugged in so that it is well charged and ON when you need that alarm to go off.

Drink some water.

Don’t drink any coffee or other caffeinated beverage/over induldge in nicotine/or take your *prescription!!!* adderall after 8 PM. Really for the Adderall don’t take it after like 5:30. You will be up all night long, my friend.

Okay last time: do not cram for any exam. That’s like over extertion for your brain and it will take you time to recover. If you continuously pull all nighters to cram you will crash and burn eventually. So just start early on your study plan. You can make time for it, I promise.

Happy studying, realistic students!

Life with 3 dogs, I tell ya! I don’t have much time for reading these days, but life, right now, is full of fluffy cuddles and tail wags. I wouldn’t have it any other way 😊

Hi Mr ENTJ I am a longtime follower of your blog and I am curious on your thoughts about the following question: in your experience what kind of career environment would one find that is occupied with a majority of INTUITIVES instead of SENSORS? For those of us who prefer the company of others similar to us.

For NPs (ENTP, INTP, ENFP, INFP): Academia.

NPs enter academia for two main reasons, both of which are highly appealing:

They’re extremely passionate about a certain subject matter. They want to study this, and only this, with hopes of one day making breakthroughs and becoming an expert in the field to teach, research, and publish on the subject.

They’re avoiding the real world. They’re indecisive about what career to pursue and since academia provides 5+ years of funding that fully covers tuition and housing it’s a way to delay entering the job market.

For NJs (ENTJ, INTJ, ENFJ, INFJ): Strategic positions of power within the big 3 (law, medicine, business).

NJs enter the big 3 for two main reasons:

They want to make an impact on the external world. NJs are impact people, and while NPs are exploratory because of their Ne, NJs are confirmatory because of their Ni and they want to utilize their strengths to influence the future. 

They’re not fans of being poor. Poverty is not an NJ’s idea of a good time and since they’re more risk averse than their NP cousins they’ll pursue something with more job security.

I love the overlap of science disciplines (coincidentally my two favorite ones)

I’m an ENTJ, and my favorite part of the day is *by far* the early morning. I love my alarm going off before most of the world has even thought about rolling out of bed. I love having tea, sitting on the porch, and listening to the stillness while I catch up on the news or read about/work on ideas. I’d get up every morning at 4:00 or 4:30 am if I could. It’s like I own my own piece of the world in those hours before the neighborhood wakes.
