Wow. This could hardly describe me worse! My major was Criminal Justice, and that's the field I work in and enjoy now (I'm a corrections officer at the local jail).

LOL

-etc

It's a tie! What's really interesting is that I gave up biology at the university to start foreign languages :D

It's indeed accurate, but given the questions, it couldn't have been that far from reality.

I am doing a major in something related to Math, so I guess I am not that far. I once consider dropping it to go study english to be an english teacher (That for me, would be the equivalent of "Spanis/German/French", as english isn't my first language), so, erm.. yeah, the thing is pretty accurate I guess :)

Odd, I needed a "tie breaker" for this...my two highest (tie scores) were "Religion/Theology" and "History/Anthropology," while my next highest two (also tied) were "Education/Counseling" and "Visual/Performing Arts." While the latter group more "directly" reflects my actual studies, teaching art also involves knowledge of art history and religion's role in art, among other things, so I guess on the whole it was fairly accurate.

I study Graphic and Multimedia Design, so this quiz thing got it pretty bang on. (Absolutely adore art and design. Have a passion for creative writing too. And have an interest in foreign languages, psychology and sociology. I hate anything to do with history, politics and religion. I don't mind biology, but don't like the idea of fixing people, especially via surgery. Love maths and physics mainly for programming purposes.)

Already hoping to be a history teacher, so I was somewhat biased.

Gave a good mark on the history channel one since I think their meaning was 'do you like history.' History Channel is mindrot bullshit 90 percent of the time.

Not all that inaccurate, except that Physics/Engineering should come out on top (I'm now a physicist, but previously worked as an engineer). I have worked as a journalist before, speak a couple of languages and am an amateur linguist, am fascinated by history and will probably end up doing some teaching when I get a faculty position, so the rest are fairly appropriate too. Probably the only other wrong thing is that the bio/chem bit should have been replaced by Mathematics.

I remember 10 years ago I had to take one of these in school. After 3 days of questioning it gave me the following careers:

Berry Farmer
FBI Agent
Insane Asylum Manager

The following year I didn't take it seriously and answered yes to all the "do you like lifting heavy objects" questions. I was then assigned the "delivery boy" career.

As long as the job you want is not spacific and can be found in a childrens' coloring book this will help you slightly. If you want a specialized job then this site is worthless. :lol:
