As both of my parents were vets, this type of parental influence is foreign to me.

My parents didn't force me to do the test I am 20 years old and they no longer have any real control over me. They simply asked me to take it and given that they are my parents and I love and respect them I took it to appease them. My parents used this test because they don't want me to put myself in harms way (join the military) I understand their concern but I have made up my mind about it and nothing they do or say will change that. They know that given my grades/college I attend that I could if I wanted to go to either law or medical school when I graduate and to them that it the MUCH more preferable line of work for me. I came out an INTP/J I guess the P and J were so borderline it gave me both. After completing the test it spit out along with my personality type a number of potential careers for me which is why they had me take the test. Im sorry if somehow this question seemed like it referred to me but my intention in asking it was more to try and gain a better understanding of the differences between the SOF soldiers as people I guess thats "The Thinker" in me coming out haha. I will try to make myself more clear in the future if I ask another question.
