Found this kinda interesting. I took the test and it definitely got me right on the money. There's real psychological research involved in the creation of this, it's not some amateur-made facebook quiz. Curious to know how many of you get a "reading" that seems right.

Here's what it gave me.

2nd Best Occupational Category
You're a PERSUADER
Keywords:

Witty, Competitive, Sociable, Talkative, Ambitious, Argumentative, and Aggressive

These enterprising types sell, persuade, and lead others. Positions of leadership, power, and status are usually their ultimate goal. Persuasive people like to take financial and interpersonal risks and to participate in competitive activities. They enjoy working with others inside organizations to accomplish goals and achieve economic success.

It said that I was an organizer first and a creator second. The two seem nearly incompatible. I can in fact organize things but I am personally disorganized. I think that creator fits better.

This is similar to that color personality test I did awhile back. I enjoyed that one because it was spot on for the particular periods in my life that I took it. This one, I can agree with the keywords that describe me, though not all the careers. Science is my least favorite area, though I am a science teacher in a sense. I can agree with the computer studies bit as well because that has always fascinated me.

Interesting they mentioned at least three jobs twice but left out detective and forensics expert.

It's not the jobs that they list that really interest me though, but the keywords that would describe me because those are indeed very true. Many of those keywords tend to confuse others when confronting me.

For example, being curious about what someone may think of an action or thing I do gets confused for me caring what someone might think. I don't care what others think of my actions, but I get curious and wonder what they do think. It's an amusing habit, but people misunderstand it.
