What is reverse psychology?

Answer for Reverse PsychologyReverse psychology is when you do something and hope to get the opposite reaction. For example, if you wanted to get someone to take what you were offering, you would say they couldn't have it.

This is often used with little children. For example, you want your child to have some salad. You put it out to all members of the family at dinner time but tell your child "you can't have any of this tonight". Often then, the child will demand to have it!

See the link below for a description with examples.

Can you get an MBA with a Psychology degree?

MBA programs accept undergraduates from many different programs; not just business. A psych major might have a very good chance of getting into a program, all else being equal.

A psychology undergrad degree is an asset if you are interested in marketing or research in business, and certainly not a liability in other areas. If you have some understanding of social research methodology be sure to discuss it in your app.

What are the different theories of personality?

Must you have a Bachelors degree in Psychology to eventually pursue a Ph.D in Psychology?

Absolutely, yes. You need a BA in order to apply to doctoral, graduate school programs. Not true. You can have a BA or BS in something else, as long as its "somewhat" related. Though, one thing is required: that is, you must take all the recommended courses. For example, most PhD programs want to see a developmental psych class, a research class, an intro class, an abnormal class and a statisitics class (if I left anything out, let me know). If you satisfy these requirements, but decide to be a philosophy major or something, you can still get accepted to a doctoral program. It might be a little more difficult, but you still have a chance. I know a lady that was 42, and graduated with her BS in nursing and worked as a nurse for 20 years. She went back to school, took the required undergrad classes and got accepted to a doctoral program, even though she had a BS in nursing. They actually liked the fact that she had experience of 20 years working with people. I had a B.A. in philosophy, and went on to get my Ph.D. in psychology. However, it is true that most Ph.D. programs want to see that you've taken the core courses of a psychology major. That's why I got my M.A. in psychology before getting accepted into my Ph.D. program. I have a B.A in psychology and philosophy, but I went for my M.A. in psychology just to strengthen my application before applying for the PhD in clinical psych.

Are psychic's real?

The psychics you will see are not real. They aren't like Raven or creepy people. You can't make it happen and you definitely can't predict someones future.

-----------------------------------------

Of course, I disagree with the above, as I have these abilities myself.

There is an entire community of folks who believe that they have psychic abilities, and train their use and control. The abilities are believed to be able to be developed as you would any other skill, though not all individuals have aptitude for all abilities (and in fact, some individuals cannot learn any at all, though this is rare). Some abilities are also more difficult to learn and control than others, in general.

These folks cannot (and have no desire to) prove to outsiders that their abilities are real, thus giving you an objective answer to your question is not possible. Skepticult folks will state that psychic abilities are not real. Psychics will state that, of course they are real. Each has had experiences (or lack of them) which supports their point of view. You will need to make up your own mind, based on your own experiences.

As for psychic readers--there are many charlatans, and a few people who are (perhaps somewhat naively) attempting to use real ability to help people, as best they can. The problem is, most people who go to psychic readers do not need someone to read them and tell them what they are thinking, or what the next most likely future course is--what they really need is some basic psychological counseling, and most psychics are really not very great with relationships or understanding social situations. They tend to be rather odd folks, as psi ability is accompanied by other abnormalities, both physically and mentally. So, taking relationship advice from a psychic who has had poor luck with his/her own relationships is probably not a great idea. In any case, the real psychics who are selling their ability as readers tend to get burned out on doing so after a few years, at most, as it is hard work, emotionally draining, and putting themselves into the public eye makes them a bit of a target. Those who don't do readings, but sell other skills, may last longer.

What type of personality traits are needed to be an agronomist?

Agronomy means 'rural economy' (from the Greek words agros - field & nemein - to manage or dispense). So I would imagine personality traits would have to involve an intererst/ability in this kind of work.

Over time, this word evolved into "farten" in Middle English before eventually becoming "fart" in Modern English. It is difficult to pinpoint a specific individual who came up with the word, as language naturally evolves over time through usage and cultural influences.
