College Major

Ha! I always garble these kinds of tests because I like everything so much. My two lowest scores were journalism & theater (58% each) but I got 100% on biology, chemistry & math. I've never studied the latter three, but I've studied and/or had jobs in the first two fields. I only scored an 83% in my actual major (linguistics). But I like knowing that I am equally passionate about chemistry and dance. It's pretty much true.

My actual major (history) didn't even turn up on my list . . .

I was tied at 92% for English and Journalism. Right behind those were Anthropology and Biology at 83%. I was a History major as an undergrad, but I'm starting a physical anthropology PhD program in the fall, so I guess the test isn't entirely wrong-headed.

Hmmm. Tied 92% with engineering, bio, chem, english and philosophy. Got English when I answered 'enjoyed reading' to the tie-breaker. Pretty accurate for a biochem major who flipped a coin decide between English and Bio in undergrad.

Like most people who take this quiz, I got multiple 'perfect' scores. In fact, I may have had too many, for I had to deal with a "tie breaker" and choose the most preferred out of four very strong answers I had. I wonder if the quiz writers think that the answers were controversial/contradictory? Because I didn't see it.

I got English, with high scores for biology and chemistry. I also scored a 25% in philosophy, which is pretty nuts given that my floor's about to collapse from the weight of my philosophy books.

But I guess I was being too "analytical" about those airheaded statements. "I love how the human psyche works"? WTF is that? I'm interested in it, maybe, but loving it would imply a level of satisfaction with the vagaries of human nature that I really don't have.

Ever get a chance to watch those Starewicz films?

My real major wasn't on the list. Perhaps that explains why I didn't get any "100%" scores, when they seem so common for some people.

Engineering was my top score with 92%.

Biology was tied for last at 17%.

Looking at the list of majors in the quiz, it is a rather odd selection. Good for some people, I suppose, but limited in its application.

This thing turned me into a theater major. It obviously has no skill.

Engineering - pretty close to real life as I was a geophysics major

I'm always bad at these, because I never like choosing extremes. So, no 100% 's for me, but I tied between Dance and Chemistry. I'm the most clumsy person ever, and definitely wouldn't have survived a dance class without breaking an ankle. However, I thought about being a chem major.

Actual majors were physics, math, and astronomy. Ironically, I only scored a 50% on the math major.

Hm, Engineering 92%, Psychology 83%, Biology 83%. My PhD is in cognitive science, on a simulation model of the amygdala-orbitofrontal system in the brain. I'd say the test has pegged me prety well.

My highest were anthropology, sociology, and philosophy. I'm in forestry.

I got my real major (math) at 100%, followed by philosophy and journalism at 75%. I can understand philosophy - at one point I intended to minor in it - but journalism is completely off the track. Also, I got only 50% in linguistics, whereas I expected it to be my second or third highest subject.

I got 100% Chemistry, guess I chose the right major.

92% Math and 75% Philosophy, so that encompasses my minors also.

Looks like I should be a full-time student for life. Got 100% in seven fields.

The quiz gave me a tie among Mathematics, English, Anthropology, Journalism, and Sociology. My real major, History, is not on the list. But a combination of English and Anthropology probably comes close to what I actually do. And I did consider Mathematics briefly. And maybe blogging counts as a form of journalism.

Pretty cool. The quiz gave me 100% Linguistic. Then 75% in Journalism 58% in English and 50% in Theater
Apart from the 100 percent linguistic, i think the test did a pretty good job. I am majoring in Journalism, but i'm considering switching to English. I also plan to minor in Theater.
