4. I'm not certain...

M. Sc. = ???

Sociology? No.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. Masters in Science

Industial Org Psych to be specific

[Chan790]

7. Then yes.

Masters in Science. It's right there in the name. You are a scientist by the very classification of your degree.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. ok then. in 6 months my name will state scientist la lioness priyanka

[Deep13]

6. Ask your instructor.

My feeling is if you are doing science, then you are a scientist.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. i am also running my own study and all sort of fun stuff

[petronius]

10. Science comes from the Latin word for knowledge

If you do things intended to increase the sum of human knowledge, then you can call yourself a scientist.

Also, if your experiments involve lasers or bubbling chemicals or supercolliders, then you can say "scientist" in that real deep melodramatic TV-announcer voice... :)

11. nope my experiment increases knowledge about stereotyping and illusory correlations

[enigmatic]

12. Only if you have Guided By Voices "I Am A Scientist" as your theme music!

:D

14. LOL

[Walk away]

13. You would definitely be a Scientist as opposed to a...

Mad Scientist. For that you have to get a Masters in the field of science and then create a monster!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. LOL

[Gormy Cuss]

16. Yes, but you'll need to cease calling yourself a bachelor.

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. god damn it.

[stray cat]

18. you can call yourself anything you want to - its up to others if they take you seriously

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. true

[madinmaryland]

20. Are you going to go for your PhD, Dr. Priyanka??

:D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. LOL. yes, i will. thats like 6 years later. for now i am scientist priyanka

:P

[chemenger]

21. Only if you can tell me the difference between an Erlenmeyer and Florence flask

if not, then u r not a psyintest.

Nope, no way, no how. Nyah, Nyah, Nyah.

And where is your pocket protector, Madam Psyintest?

[Wapsie B]

23. That's a very interesting career choice.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

24. going around the world calling myself a scientist?

:)

[Wapsie B]

25. Well no, the field itself.

Never would want to be a touchy-feely psych person, but I/O sounds interesting. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. its interesting but frankly i am not sure its justified as its own field
