  • Gilbert Newman (he/him) 6:33 PM There are many characteristics that lend themselves to becoming a great psychologist. Some of the strengths you may already possess would be, for example, good listening skills, being able to convey a sense of hope, having compassion, possessing cultural humility and being multiculturally aware and sensitive, helping to normalize reactions to abnormal circumstances, openness to feedback, and willingness to look at oneself - self-awareness. I also value students who demonstrate psychological mindedness. Surely, a characteristic that is necessary is maturity and professionalism. There’s more we can address in live responses.
