I said that in college today, my teacher said "Psychology is a pseudo-science right," I replied, "Not really any type of science."

psychology by itself is a very beautiful subject imo and of course, it's science
It's the psychologists... every psychology student I know is a half hippy constantly talking about some spirituality crap and other bullshit

Good thing is, most of these people never finish university, so it's OK.

I'd say it was more a social science, if that. It gives you an advantage in certain social situations but doesn't really understand the mindset of people. "How do you feel when you see this picture?" is an example of a question.
