Career Test Frustration
June 3, 2008 | by brett | Permalink
I have a real problem with career tests. I believe the questions force the person providing the answers into a should complex. People don’t know what they like or want, (which is one reason why they’re taking the test in the first place) so they try to provide the “right” answer. The “right” answers just lead to a match of occupations that confuse the tester even more.
I just took a test to test my theory. I answered to the best of my ability, even when I caught myself falling into the should complex. The results:
“Based on your results, it appears you enjoy DATA, and perhaps, THINGS. The careers that are suited for your interests include:”
Park Ranger
Accountant
Wedding Photographer
FBI Agent
Fish and Game Warden
Food and Drug Inspector
Really? What am I supposed to do with this?

I think the FBI agent sounds the most fun, but then again, when they find out who your Dad is, they will reject you.

Create a career out of smuggling small bears full of top-secret Jay Z and Beyonce (insert latest OMG! celeb couple here) wedding pictures into TMZ headquarters - duh. Hahaha.
