I Need to Find Results for This

I forgot to put a link...here it is so you too can take the sample test. Career Development Test I found a test you can take to figure out what careers you might be good for, but without paying, I was only allowed to take a "taster" version, and I didn't get a list of careers that would be good for me. I'm hoping that I'll somehow be able to find that though. Here are the results that it DID give me about me.

Practical and Realistic: Low
Low

People scoring high on this scale are practical down to earth people who are good at facts and rely on their experience. They remember names, faces and directions quite easily and are usually accurate in observing detail. They are reliable, no nonsense types. They are not always very creative nor do they usually see the 'big picture', preferring instead to stick to the facts and rely on their own past experience. They are good at jobs involving facts and figures where attention to detail is important such as in accounting and administration.

You scored low on this scale suggesting that you would not be particularly comfortable in activities involving considerable reliance on facts and reality. You may find such activities, for example, book keeping or administration, rather dry and lacking a creative and imaginative element that your personality type might prefer.

You would probably be unwise to become too heavily involved in these 'practical and realistic' activities which may well play directly to your weaknesses which are likely to be a disinterest in facts and detail. Instead, you may need to look for something more imaginative, creative or strategic.

Creative and Innovative: Very High
Very High

Your very high score strongly suggests that you are very ingenious and imaginative. You are almost certainly quick to see new possibilities and have a facility for vision and strategy. You are likely to have an intuitive understanding of how events unfold and be able to 'see' into the future.

You are almost certainly motivated by new projects and ideas and can find ingenious solutions to problems. However, you will almost certainly find routine activities quite dull and so your challenge will be to stay motivated long enough to get your ideas and concepts put into practice. The downside to all this creativity and ingenuity is that you are probably less interested in the detail which could result in you making small mistakes that destroy your credibility.

You are most likely to be comfortable in activities which involve designing and planning for the future and creating new theories, systems and techniques. Avoid routine, fact-based activities wherever possible as this will play directly to your weakness which is a lack of interest in down-to-earth routine.

Objective and Analytical: Very Low
Very Low

People who score high on this scale tend to be very objective in their decision making, arguing their case through logic and principle. They are more comfortable with impersonal and objective judgments and can make difficult decisions based on logic rather than sentiment. Their choice of activities tends to reflect their ability to make impersonal judgments and they may not be comfortable in areas involving emotional sensitivity. They can appear cold and unemotional.

You scored very low on this scale suggesting that you would be very uncomfortable in activities involving complete objectivity and tough decision-making and that you would almost certainly be more comfortable in more people oriented and caring activities.


Sympathetic and Harmonising: Very High
Very High

You scored very high on this scale strongly suggesting that you are very sympathetic to other people and like to work in harmony with them. You almost certainly make your decisions based on the wish to get on with other people and take their feelings into account rather than on ruthless objectivity.

You are likely to be very sensitive to the needs and motivations of other people, to be trusted by them and have a natural empathy with them. However, there is a danger that you might avoid facing up to critical issues in an effort not to upset other people which might appear to your more ruthlessly objective colleagues as muddle headedness and indecision. Therefore, activities involving dispassionate or difficult decision-making might be best avoided.

Your strong preference for empathising with people suggests that you could be very persuasive when you choose to be, making you a useful team player and good at selling ideas. What would probably satisfy you most is using your natural empathy and ability to communicate with other people in such diverse areas as community care, counselling, selling or teaching although there are many other occupations where this talent could be used.å
