Shit guys, it's the Holland Test!

Sorry, I'm on a bit of a Career Testing binge. The Holland Test is one of those "What Job Could You Practically Do And Enjoy" things. Just did one interactively with some friends, and we talked about how ridiculous some of the questions seemed. "Oh boy, nothing I love more in the world than Operating a Calculator, or Checking Shipping Manifests." But then as we talked, we realized that some people actually do enjoy those activities. At least for a time.

For added fun, plug your 3-letter results into the O*Net Job Thinger, and look at all the practical jobs they recommend. I was close between IAS and IAR (Investigative, Artistic, and Social or Realistic), and apparently Anthropology, Psychology, Woodworking and Instrument Repair are jobs I'd be a good fit for. If I wasn't busy not getting a PhD, and doing something else entirely!

Also did the Big 5 Personality Test (It's one of the tests a lot of prospective employers give you). I've been curious what the results from those tests look like. Apparently, I have less respect for rules and organizations than the vast majority of people.

Good thing, apparently I'm well suited for the field I want to go into, Neuropsych. At least the research area.


And I got

Apparently I am somewhat unique. I feel special.

You have three seconds to see what I did there.

Go figure.  Apparently you need a higher realism/conventional score to be a mathematician >_>  My profile is straight-up "teacher of schoolchildren."

I don't know why I like taking these tests so much. Posting results:

The high Neuroticism score baffles me, since I disagreed with most of the statements that classify someone as neurotic. And apparently, I'm a bit of a psychopath. Then again, this IS Bay12.

EDITUS: Ah, well, I read the explainations, and it makes sense now. Conscientiousness refers to sticking to the rules.

Your primary type was REALISTIC. Realistic people like to do things in a practical way.

Makes sense to me.

Job Prospects:

Mining machine operator.
Oil or Gas derrick operator.
Farmworker.
Agricultural grader and sorter.
Grinder/polisher.
Textile/garment worker.
Quarry worker.
Tire changer
Lumberjack.

Seems I am in the wrong trade.

IEC, which means my closest jobs are "management analyst" and "market research analyst / marketing specialist". I don't even know what those things are.
I only answered a full "enjoy" to one of the prompts (mapping the ocean floor, because seriously), so I'm thinking none of the jobs they recommend will quite be my fit.
