What career will suit your personality?

[madhen]

Well, one thing I learned from the quiz is that I am a bit bi-polar when it comes to related questions. For example, I like to learn new things, but I base my judgement on reality vs. possibility.

Pretty accurate, except for one part where it says I prefer to use the skills I have rather than learn new ones. I would disagree with that, as I enjoy learning new skills. Other than that, though, I wouldn't disagree with most of the career options it gave (except computer programmer or webmaster - never had an interest there). The other thing that I thought was interesting was that I responded to one question with "play now, work later" (vs the opposite), but the results said I'd rather work than play!

My results:


You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to stimulate your senses and your mind, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

• Novelist
• Photographer
• Vet
• Medical Technician
• Paralegal
• Geologist
• Marine Biologist
• Graphic Designer
• Online Content Developer
• Webmaster
• Computer Security
• Producer
• Computer Programmer
• Technical Writer
• Systems Analyst
• Meteorologist
• Artist

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs. You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends. You like to listen to others, but don't like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private.

You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don't like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.

You like to be involved deeply in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others at all costs.

You trust what is certain. You only like new ideas if they can be practically applied to the situation. You value what is real. You use your common sense. You like to utilise the skills you have instead of learning new ones. You are very specific and detailed when writing or talking to others. You follow directions well. You like things to be laid out for you to do instead of working them out for yourself. You like decisions to be made. You don't like things to be left in limbo. You like to know what you are getting into before you commit to something.

You like to focus on the here and now. You enjoy completing projects. It is important for you to achieve and succeed. Therefore, you believe in working hard and playing later. You like to set goals and work towards them.

Drinking coffee in Paris sounds divine!

Actually it was quite disappointing. It was one of those test that focused solely on your academic ability and nothing related to your personality. Was completely unhelpful and a waste of time. I'm just too old now to take seriously any intense type of profession. I'd much rather do something happy and stress free.

For the above test, politician was one of my professional choices. LOL! Not in a million years. I couldn't imagine advertising either. I would not be comfortable in either of those careers. They both require the ability to bold face lie to peddle whatever their selling.

I can't imagine trying to work out someone's career just based on what they are good at academically. Your personality plays such a big part in how much you will enjoy a particular line of work. Ha - advertising was on mine and I thought the exact same thing! No way.

Well, one thing I learned from the quiz is that I am a bit bi-polar when it comes to related questions. For example, I like to learn new things, but I base my judgement on reality vs. possibility.

Same here - some of my attitudes seem a bit contradictory. I focus more on possibilities and big picture dreams but I'm also very practical and realistic about them. I'm ruthless about checking if an idea is sustainable or practical and, if it's not, it gets ditched post-haste. Plus, I work day-to-day with students and deliver training to, at most, 25 people at a time and genuinely love it. At the same time, I do prefer to complete projects generally on my own and like working by myself. Guess it makes things more interesting.

If I can slow down at work I would really like to pursue my writing full time.

Here's mine, it is for the most part pretty accurate, although it is the first time I've ever been accused of being level-headed

The items in bold really interested me, I am trying to become a professional photographer, and I did start college to be a graphic designer way back in the stone ages when we still had light tables and rapidograph pens.

I find the Banker absolutely hilarious!! I'm so bad at numbers I'm not allowed anywhere near the checkbook. If I can't use all my fingers and toes I'm lost. LOLOL
