Apologies, I think I post this link on some discussion every couple of weeks, but yes. It is a matter of personality. FPs on the Myers Brigg are more likely to bug their parents about a lack of challenge. TPs are more likely to conclude their teachers are stupid and just coast.
http://www.educationaloptions.com/resources/resources_rufs_tips.phpBrilliant! You just summed up my and my DS's attitude towards school in one sentence. Both "TP's" here. Although I am not philosophically a big fan of coasting I was a consumate coaster right through undergrad. I did put in a lot of thought and effort for my master's degree however but that was 15 years later.
I am enjoying reading this discussion because I oh so want an excuse for both my own and my son's lack of motivation and "hoop jumping" in school. On the other hand, I am a teacher so part of me always feels guilty.
