However, what if you already had made the transition? What could you do to leverage your existing psychological knowledge as a data-driven professional? It would be such a shame to throw-away years of studying and ignore all that you have learned!

I truly believe that psychologists have specific skills that can be used to become great data scientists! Sure, as a psychologist I am biased, but let’s just ignore that for a moment 😉*

This article will focus on identifying which psychological skills can be used, and how, in your work as a data-driven professional.

This will not be as self-evident as a tutorial. The purpose here is to inspire you to look for creative ways to be both a psychologist and a data scientist in your work. I hope to achieve this by providing you with some clear examples that might **trigger **you to apply old psychological methods in a new way.

*NOTE: The skills in this article are not exclusive to psychologists or those with a social background. The focus is as such since chances are that a psychologist is likely a better communicator than a software engineer.
