Are there any conscientious mentors here?

Post Reply New Topic

I've long been trying to find a conscientious mentor, and this excludes any who fakes agreement.

Conscientious about what?

Agreement about what?

Maybe a mentor who doesn't BS you?

I didn't expect anyone to act coy here. I thought those who respond would know what conscientious means.

That’s not the way to approach things. People don’t respond to condescension.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition:

conscientious (adj): (1) meticulous, careful // "a conscientious listener"; (2) governed by or conforming to the dictates of conscience : scrupulous // "a conscientious public servant".

Evangelicals and Fundamentalists seem to use this definition:

conscientious (adj): (1) capable of being manipulated through guilt // "a conscientious participant"; (2) gullible, ignorant // "a conscientious believer".

Definition "Mentor" :
n the friend whom Odysseus put in charge of his household when he left for Troy. He was the adviser of the young Telemachus


Now that all is defined, it is crystal clear

What would you like to be mentored in OP

Please, mentor us

I mean a mentor that actually judges people they mentor on accomplishments. It may be like "Are you doing the work or not?". I also mean one that doesn't automatically assume that someone who talks on and on about a topic knows as much about the topic as they might think.
A mentor who not only knows how to mentor those who don't see that the other person is uninterested but also know how to mentor those who (also) speak with authority on special interests, not seeing how poor their grasp of their interests are.
And finally, a mentor who says so, clearly if:
*They see a flaw in the thinking of someone they mentor.
*They think someone they mentor has missed a key point, is not clear, or just wrong.
*Whoever they mentor is using bad spelling and/or grammar (punctuation and use of letter case) to the point that others have trouble understanding.
