Greetings Dissertation Demystified! I have an idea I want to run past everyone. I am working on developing a Dissertation Scholar typology. I have come up with five types (kind of à la Myers-Briggs): i) the Analyst, ii) the Improviser, iii) the Visionary, iv) the Achiever, and v) the Collaborator. I want to develop a quiz that helps you determine your typology and then for each type develop a Dissertation Roadmap to Success. Curious to get everyone's thoughts!

I recently joined an online dissertation community created by Ryan Kotowski, and I couldn't be more impressed. Ryan has been a tremendous help through that latter part of my dissertation journey—offering clarity, encouragement, and expert guidance. I wish I had found him sooner as the process is extremely arduous. His platform, Dissertation Demystified, is aptly named; it truly breaks down the process and makes it manageable. I believe this will be a powerful and supportive learning community for anyone navigating the dissertation journey.
