A few days ago, I took the job quiz from iVillage.co.uk and so I decided to talk about the results I got. I actually took the test twice, with only a few answers different and the possible career paths I got were pretty much the same. Here is the exact result generated:

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to be creative, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

* Artist
* Historian
* Banker
* Novelist
* University Professor
* Photographer
* Vet
* Paralegal
* Graphic Designer
* Online Content Developer
* Webmaster
* Producer
* Managing Director
* Nutritionist
* Advertising
* Nursing

You like working and being alone. You like to avoid attention at all costs. You tend to keep to yourself, and not interact much with the people around you. You enjoy spending time with a few a close friends. You like to listen to others, but don’t like sharing much about yourself. You are very quiet and private.

You are very practical, and only act after thinking things through. You don’t like being forced to answer quickly. You have to evaluate the situation completely. You make decisions based on what you can verify with your senses.

You like to be deeply involved in one or two special projects. You like to be behind the scenes. You are very logical and fair. You feel you should be honest with others and protect their feelings.

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.

Although I am a Software Engineer by profession, I am also an Online Content Developer(Blogger) and a Webmaster, which are what I enjoy doing the most. I like doing things that challenge my creativity and intellect. I also do get bored easily, hence the reason why I just sit infront of the TV in hope of learning something new from news and documentaries.

I work in a team environment at work, but I do believe that I am more productive when I work alone, although I do appreciate a little help when I’m stuck with something, rather than wasting my time looking for a solution on the web. I am a shy person, so obviously I am quiet and private ;)

I am also practical and innovative. Practical, because I usually analyze the pros and cons before taking the smallest decisions, although I do rely on my gut feelings as well(a bit confusing, I know!), and innovative, because I don’t like copying what others have already done, although I don’t believe in re-inventing the wheel but instead improving the wheel rather than just using the same wheel(confusing again, I know!).

Overall, I would say the results are pretty accurate, if you haven’t taken the test/quiz yet, then go and answer the 32 questions and see what career will suit your personality.
