Stupid question but does anyone ever cool it full or medium? What happened if you do?
Do you mean cook it to medium or well done?
If that is what you are asking, tuna dries out quickly during cooking. Well done and it will be really dry (think dry chicken x 2).

Tastes terrible. Growing up my mom tried to make tuna steaks one time. Cooked them well done. Took me years to come around to tuna after that. For the longest time I couldn't understand why people liked tuna so much. Turns out my mom just butchered it and ruined tuna for me for a while.

Not well but not rare either. What about medium or medium rare?

Medium or medium/rare it will be fine. Just make sure some pink is left in the middle or it will be too dry imo.

Slice raw, sashimi style. Dip in Ponzu sauce ftw.

Sure you can cook it past rare; I recommend poaching (esp in olive oil or clarified butter). It's a nice way to use up trimmings/odds ends unsuited for other cooking. Tuna confit: LINK
Poaching in oil changes the character completely; well worth trying out if you're a tuna fan.

Yikes! I'd be careful with this strategy even though it is my favorite way as well. There is an actual sashimi grade, not all grocers will have it. Whole foods does. There are different handling guidelines enforced.
