I love the anti-advice to avoid a "conventional career." My professional career is in software development, which is certainly creative and as much craft and art as science.
For this mini-quiz, I had ties for my answers among the questions, so I split the difference and answered the "same" question with different answers. I have some polymath tendencies (or maybe I'm just "master of none"). I've always known that I could do well in several different fields. In addition to an aptitude for software, I'm also mechanically inclined, I know I can draw, I love photography and gardening, I enjoy teaching, and so on.
When I took a career aptitude test in high school, it suggested I would make a good forest ranger. But I think that was mostly because I hate people.
I got the same (I could see it coming). Now, where's my drill?
Open wide!

I don't think there was a single question where less than three of the options apply to me, or where I don't do more than one of the things every day. I have performed comedy and balanced books, I am well suited for analytic review or a raucous debate. This quiz desperately needs the ability to select multiple answers, or at least an "All of the Above", and then it needs to express answers as relative preference rather than a single absolute value.
This quiz is in strong need of answers that have a nanogram of rigor or power to distinguish amoungst different kinds of groups. Every answer seemed to be complete word salad.
Quite a terrible quiz.
You would make an excellent:
Bank Teller - Bookkeeper - Court Clerk
Mail Carrier - Post Office Clerk - Secretary
Timekeeper - Title Examiner - Typist
I am retired. I had two careers: first, for 15 years I was a math teacher - from 5th grade to first year college calc.
second, for almost 30 years in mainframe computer programming, systems analysis, and database administration.
