Constance Iloh, a grad student at USC, has recently blogged about an embarrassingly true typology of PhD students. I found out about this via Times Higher Education’s tweet.
Iloh recognised an initial class of five types:
- The “Oh You Study That? I Do Too!” Ph.D. Student
- The “I am a Successful Procrastinator” Ph.D. Student
- The “I am Kind of a Big Deal” Ph.D. Student
- The “Tired and Uninspired” Ph.D. Student
- The “I Love Critiquing but I Hate Creating” Ph.D. Student
She’s got a very exhaustive post, which is both entertaining and embarrassing, as you just may find out who you really are. Find the original post here.
