Does basic psychology, in your sense, consist of certain principles, principles that are the necessary groundwork for anything else? If so, does that make the good philosopher the good (basic) psychologist?
Psycology can clarify many things, such as "group think"

To be a good psycologist does not need the premesis of being a good philosopher.
There are many "good" philosophers around, they know like a million times more of philosophy than I (I honest never really read any philosophy ..I'm self taught) ..but these philosophers rarely produce anything than navel gazing wordplay.
Some of the premisis of being good at something, is the usual:
- dedication
- being able to take critique
- being able to give critieue
- hvae guts, take the beating of being wrong, never be afraid
- being able to think the full spectre of things (this requires very high IQ/RQ)
- selfanalyze, what you can do better/different
- never give in to group presser, but give in to reason
- NEVER be ruled by emotion
- all that glitter isn't always gold.
- don't be naive, just because some dude got a PHD, got 20 years in his field and are highly regarded by everyone ..he can still be utterly wrong.
The same goes for you!
- be qurious, when that vain you will not learn, and you must always learn and improve youself.
..etc..etc ..too much to write! :BRB:
