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:
“It is not enough that France should be regarded as a country which enjoys the remains of a freedom acquired long ago. If she is still to count in the world—and if she does not intend to, she may as well perish—she must be seen by her own citizens and by all men as an ever-flowing source of liberty. There must not be a single genuine lover of freedom in the whole world who can have a valid reason for hating France.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
