There's really only one flaw with this: I want to write. I'd love to write as a career. I just suck at it. I'm a storyteller, not a story writer.

So what majors are good for me based on my interest?
Is Business school a possible fit with these interests? How about Law School?

You scored worst in the two options requiring consistancy and attention to detail. Who would have thunk it?

Maybe all your stories could be based on true events?

They would both be good fits methinks.

Loosely. :p

Mine told me that I should be a lawyer, librarian, or biologist.

That was years ago though.


EDIT - oh, it's an online one? *does it*

Loosely. :p
Of course. Otherwise it would require consistancy.

I guess that means you have the potential to be competant.

Dr Shata.

I guess that means you have the potential to be competant.

At science?

Meh. I've always been good at it (I don't really want to bignote myself, so i'll leave it at that :p) and liked it, I just had to make a call in high school where to specialise. Maybe I made the wrong one.

Not competant at politics. There are so many scientifically dumb moves that governments make, it would be good to have someone who actually has at least a basic understanding of the stuff.

Oh, I see. Well, I don't intend to be a politician. I'm not likely to attract any voters with my views...I'm much more likely to end up as a marginally competent public service bureaucrat :p

Or "I don't much care what I do, so long as you sod off and leave me to do it!".
I think "Outdoors" only scored so high because it was often the lesser of three evils ("Hawking crap, brats, or cows?" Well, moo). Same with health service; people are much easier to deal with after an overdose of general anaesthetic.

These tests are probably affected by the mood one's in when one takes them; I got up far too early this morning, for instance ;)

Your highest score was on Outdoors, which means that you like working outdoors, particularly in agriculture with animals and/or plants. This may include professions involving potentially dangerous situations. You also scored highly on Systematic, indicating that you prefer jobs that involve routine but challenging assignments in which order and persistent, steady effort are required. You also like job security to be established, and you dislike frequent changes in schedule and situations requiring quick decisions. Your high score on the Writing scale means that you enjoy creative or technical writing. You are also likely to be interested in a broad range subjects, so finding occupations that allow you to exercise these interests would lead to higher work satisfaction for you.

Tip #1: By combining your top interests, you may discover a great career. For example, someone with high scores in Science, Writing, and Assertive scales may enjoy working as an editor of a scientific magazine or journal.

Lowest Interest Scores

Low scores (less than 30) are just as important as high scores. These indicate lack of interest or dislike for certain activities. Understanding what jobs to avoid can save you time and prevent costly career mistakes.

Your lowest score was on Personal Service. You wouldn’t be satisfied in careers where the majority of your time was spent interacting with others and providing the public with services involving personal contact. You also showed low interest on Teaching/Social Service, so you wouldn’t be fulfilled in careers where substantial time was spent instructing people in learning new things, helping people solve problems, and assisting others. Your low score in Sales means that you wouldn’t enjoy careers that involve selling merchandise or services. These careers involve understanding products and services, informing customers of their features, demonstrating products, and being persuasive with others.

Tip #2: Consider these interest scores along with what you already know about your own abilities, experiences and values. Interests are only one important component of a career plan that leads to a satisfying and successful career.

Administrative Scores

The following scores show how much confidence can be placed in your test results.

Infrequency Score: Normal Inconsistency Score: Normal

Your administrative indices are within normal limits, indicating that you were purposeful and consistent in responding to the test.
