Career Testing and Tests

[patient1]

I'm buggered if I'm taking this test. The impression I get of you all in the States, is that you continue to live in slavery, either to the state or to giant corporations or, to the belief that you have to work to live.

You need to be emancipated from employment. Over there you appear to be either masters or slaves.

Great observation. I don't know if there's any masters or not- you have to be productive in a productive sector to have any security-

A person's business more often owns them than the other way around.

That's also the problem tying anything to the US dollar- you have to compete or compare on productivity. Look at Argentina.





As for the test, it took me about an hour & 50 minutes, but part of the problem was loading pages.

Anyway, my current career is only 71% compatible, my previous ones were 64% each.

They recommended-

orthodontist 87
physicist 87
geologist 86
dentist 85
chemist 84
biochemist 84
indust/org. psychologist 83
podiatrist 83
architect 83
mathmetician 83
biologist 83


They sound like expensive credentials to me. I specifically declined chemist & dentist on the questionaire. I don't like dealing with other people's blood & pain. I wonder how hig they'd be if I endorsed those specific questions. Biosciences would be fun.

Film Editor 84%

I need to become a pornographer. They do all occupations, when you think about it.

I don't know, riffless, how accurate these are.

I spent 30 minutes and it looks to me like I have really missed the proverbial boat.

#1 Elementary School Teacher 87%
#2 Pharmacist 83%
#3 Optician, Dispensing 80%
#4 Church Administrator 80%
#8 Speech Pathologist 79%
#9 Loan Officer, Bank 78%
#13 Registered Nurse 76%
#16 Electrical Engineer 73%
#86 Carpenter, Finish 62%

After thinking about this, my ideal job would be a woman's hair dresser/stylist. It would satisfy my hands-on needs, and at the same time give me the people stimulation that I thrive on.

Thanks, riff, this was entertaining...and insightful.

 

[sabbathstorm]

Just a *bump*

 

[riff]

What do you do, erosman?

I explained to my students that these are test results based upon input. The test taker's input. I found the results highly relevant and fitting for most of my students.

But I also added, while someone may have a match, it doesn't necessarily mean that you would enjoy the job or be successful. Too many variables. It is a test. Input....processing....output.

 

[sabbathstorm]

Input....processing....output.

Damn computer talk I kept hearing that phrase in programming all the time.

 

[erosman]

riff, mon

I am a stair designer/frabricator. I have a partner in a small shop that produces 3 to 4 high-end, one-of-a-kind art pieces each year, that also happen to double as functional staircases. There is pretty good blend of creative handwork, creative design work, and business management. After thinking about this test overnight, the only recommendations that the test results make that aren't included in my daily routine, are the opportunities for teaching and more social interaction. With 3 to 4 projects per year, that translates to 3 to 4 clients per year, and my social metabolism prefers more.

You know, I took riff's test here almost two months ago, and a week doesn't go by, that I don't still reflect on the results. And...I think that's good.




thanks, riff-mon

Hey MC,

You're looking great. I like the new AV. What are you doing over the summer? Internship, school or taking it easy?

Dressmaking is very creative. I'd like to do that.
