I found the Art Test to be really cool!!

 

[Halo]

I did the Careers test found here and it was spot on...really cool

I have a hard time putting too much weight on a seven-question survey..... but the careers one was pretty accurate for me too.

 

[Into The Light]

it was right on for me too, i'm impressed!

 

[Halo]

Misha which seven question survey are you referring to?

 

[ladylore]

The carreer test said that I should stay away from careers in the Conventional and Realistic catagories.

Artistic is the top of my list.

The top of my list was investigative, which is true. I love to research and analyze. At first I kind of thought "huh...really" but I don't think it's out of line with what I am working towards, and I don't think it has to be all or none - ie. investigative is the ONLY thing I'd be good at. There are things I definitely suck at, like interior decorating, but let's face it - to be a good psychologist or counsellor you do need to be investigative and analytical. So - it's not off.

The careers one... I suppose it was seven questions that evaluate two points each.... but still. It was accurate though, I'm just saying I was surprised that it got so much out of so little....

 

[Halo]

Yes although the careers test was only seven questions I also found it amazing how bang on it was.
