You are very enthusiastic about work and about all that you do and have in your life. You love being the focus of attention. You enjoy a fast pace. You are very socially oriented. Therefore, you are much happier being with others than you are alone. You crave interaction with others.

You are very spontaneous and often act before you think. You are always quick to answer when you are asked a question, even if you aren't sure of the answer. It is easier for you to improvise as you go along. You enjoy thinking out loud, and are most creative when brainstorming with friends or colleagues. You enjoy being involved in many activities.

You are very easy to read, and often wear your heart on your sleeve. You are never afraid to tell people what you think. You are very empathetic and genuine. You can sometimes be seen as over-emotional or too involved by others. But that is only because you tend to get so involved in the things you do that they become personal. You want to be adored, loved and appreciated. You like to please others and to make sure people are happy.

You trust your gut instincts. You are easily inspired and trust that inspiration. You are very innovative. You analyse things by looking at the big picture. You are concerned about how what you do affects others. You worry about your actions and the future. You tend to use a lot of metaphors and are very descriptive and colourful in your choice of language.

You are very creative, and get bored easily if you don't get to express yourself. You like to learn new things. You don't like the same old routine. You like to leave your options open.

Finding a career that is right for you isn't always an easy thing. However, if you secure a job that is suited to your personality type you will enjoy going to work, feel great about yourself, feel appreciated and look forward to what's ahead.

Marine Biologist! Wow! Now that would be a cool career!

I also thought it was scary how just a few questions could pinpoint with such accuracy. I didn't mention that I also was a receptionist at one point, I did books and took inventory there. And I was a manager for Burger King, back when it was not all computerized and you needed knowledge of book keeping and such. Maybe not a full fledged restaurant, but I'm guessing close enough for this test. It didn't list a few other things I've done in my life like bartender, but I think it sort of fits. Too weird the accuracy!

Got to say that while I love the travel agent idea it's probably not even an option anymore. When's the last time you saw a travel agent?

[krbshappy71]

Thank you so much for this!! I am leaving my current job of 14 years and have no idea what I'm doing next!! EEEEK!! Ok here's what it suggested, it pulled at my heart-strings that it said Vet, that's what I wanted to be when I was young and it didn't happen.

It is scary how true this generalization is: But I guess if the shoe fits, I need to wear it. I DID want to be a Marine Biologist when I was in High School trying to decide what I wanted to be.

Let me explain something, I never made it to college to become a Marine Biologist. That undoubtedly was just a dream that was never to be. I never even got to go to college. I married 2 years after I graduated from HS and started having kids 2 years later. I worked at a bank here for 34 years in the Loan Operations department until they were bought out and the new owners let most of us go. I would not changed a thing about how my life has progressed. I love my family and how I have lived for all these years.

But let me be clear.... I would still have loved to become a Marine Biologist. Just me and the fishes.

[mndtrp]

It was about 75% accurate for me.

I must like attention.

Interesting - mine included two careers I've had and two I've always aspired to.

gotta love it.

The description of me sounds about right, but I'm surprised at the career suggestions. I normally get teacher or counsellor:

Squidge, I was surprised by my suggestions too. But it actually was the first time I took one of these kinds of tests that actually had not only careers that I would actually consider, but had done.

I took an aptitude test once while schooling and not a single profession would I have concerned. It was so disappointing. Here I was trying to find a career path and I was get all these crazy, not on your life careers as options.

Ceashels, now that's the best!

[Squidge]

Haha, yeah Ceashels, I'm jealous. That certainly sounds like an exciting profession.

It can imagine it's very disappointing to feel like none of the list 'clicks' with you when you are at the point of trying to find a career. I'd say I enjoy working with with people a lot more than my results suggested. Out of them all, I think I like 'novelist' best. Sounds like I could sit in a café in Pairs, drinking coffee while tapping away on my laptop. Not sure it seems very realistic though.

[pollypurebred39]

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.
