Yeah, it is an abstraction of the idealized process of proper human development.

I have a Masters in Forensic Psychology and Behavioral Analysis. It's what I've done for a living for 20 years, though I'm a researcher and analyst in the intelligence community, not a clinician shrinking heads on a couch.

Nice, I am currently an undergraduate psych major and plan on at least getting my graduate and maybe my doctorate.

Along with minors in military science and theology.

I would recommend both Georgetown University and John Jay College (though you might want to stay out of John Jay's Economics Dept these days). I am a graduate of both,.

I currently go to OSU, my second year in University first year transfer. I had a not so pleasant first of college going to a liberal arts college called Beloit.

Also the National Intelligence University, US Navy Center for Information Warfare, and The Naval Postgraduate School all also have excellent programs, and I tooks some specialized courses at those locations as well.

I'm in the Army, planning on specializing in military intelligence.

By army I mean ROTC for the US Army.

If you're thinking of using your Psych degree to in any way directly interact with people, I would strenuously suggest studying Transactional Analysis, the Facial Action Coding System developed by Paul Eckman, and as much behavioral analysis as you can fit in. Relying on the DSM and "Psychology" alone can end up getting an individual in trouble more often than most consider.

Also learn cognitive biases, memory biases, social biases and logical fallacies until they are second nature and how to recognize them in real time, in situ.

I am interested in studying depth psychology and maybe social psychology.

In Social Psychology, you DEFINITELY want to have a relataively advanced working knowledge in all of the above mentioned skills.

Yes, I am still a few terms away before actually having to start seriously planning how I specialize my major.

Much of my work in studying the process of radicalization to violence across the political and religious spectrums has used every one of the above skills frequently, without which I may have made some serious mistakes quite often by now, for a very long time now.

Still taking a lot of fundamental classes like data analysis or research methodology

That is an interesting study, religious and ideological radicalization. Do you know much about Islam and the Quran?

Pay close attention in both, however I might sidebar by suggesting you ignore any professor telling you to have a greater reliance on algorithms and AI augmentation.

The way we are already applying AI scares me, it feels to indirect from Human use and too automated.

It isn't a matter of not using algo's/AI or *not* using them. It's a matter of not relying on them but only using them as an enhancement for your own cognitive processes.

As perhaps ludicrous as it sounds I feel like a better resolution to the use of advanced Artificial Intelligences is a form of Mentat learning, reminiscent to something like in DUNE.

With neurological augmentation to the Brain

I mean, I use some pretty advanced AI from Microsoft to plow through massive amounts of online originals content from extremist single users or groups, which filters the chaff from the wheat, as it were, and leaves me the wheat to sift through mysefl and conduct a manual psycho-stylometric linguistic analysis.

Well that is more akin to data gathering rather than data analysis, although I know they are closely connected.

There are programs that can "do" stylometric analysis of linguistic content, but it isn't nearly as fast or accurate as a well-educated, experienced human being.

No, what I do is analyze the *content* itself. *How* an indivual *uses* the English (or whatever, I'm a polyglot) Language to make analytical estimations of psychological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral states of beiing at any given time, and over a period of time.

It's one of tools used in both identification as well as threat assessment.

I am a hopeful polyglot, beyond English I have a good grasp on Spanish and am currently learning Hebrew. Once I gain fluency in it I want to move over to Aramaic and maybe Arabic.

The more content you have, the better an estimation you can make, but more content means more irrelevant data which must be rejected before the anlysis can even begin.

I would like to learn Greek and Latin but I am skeptical if I will even attempt them at the moment.

Languages aren't difficult if you can get the hang of a couple. English is my second language, Welsh is my first (first generation American from a Welsh speaking household) and after I picked up French, learning additional languages became a little easier each time.

That is what I hope, especially moving over from Hebrew to an Aramaic language, likely Syriac.

I speak Welsh, English, French, German, Spanish and Russian fluently, and I'm conversational (to varying degrees) in Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Somali, Amhairic, Hopi, Dine, and I understand "legal" Latin fairly well, but I couldn't hold a conversation in it.

I'm learning Romanian, and after that Czech.

But I've been lazy about continuing education in the last 6 months. More work than free time.

One language I would love to learn just for the absurdity of it would be Rumantsch.

Just to learn it I would probably have to learn German first though.

LOL. Here's one for ya....Turkmen. The language of Turkmenistan. IT's a fascinating language from one of the strangest dictatorships in the world right now.

Yiddish is an awesome language, a pre-existing working knowledge in GErman helps with that one too.

English is actually a quite limited language.

I’m not usually keen on learning niche languages, but I find rumantsch such a beautiful language.
