Acquired or Predisposed?
As with many occupations, there are questions as to whether people obtain certain personality types after being in their career or if they chose a particular career because of their type. Particularly in law enforcement, it is thought that many officers acquire a new personality type after many years in the force. They become more hostile, cold, and less worrisome about their co-officers; traits that are typical of an ISTJ personality type.

Famous quotes containing the word acquired:
“Our Indian said that he was a doctor, and could tell me some medicinal use for every plant I could show him ... proving himself as good as his word. According to his account, he had acquired such knowledge in his youth from a wise old Indian with whom he associated, and he lamented that the present generation of Indians “had lost a great deal.””
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
