A Conventional Personality
It’s too late now, since I already have a degree and absolutely no desire to head back to school, but I thought it would be fun to see if I was on track when I settled on Information Technology as my major.
Here are my results from the College Major quiz. It appears that I was pretty much on target.
You are a Conventional Personality Type!
Conventional people are fond of history and they like to observe holidays. They are traditional and they like to know exactly what is expected of them in every situation. They are practical and very structured.
Conventional people might be good at math, but they may not want to work with numbers a lot. They can usually fit in to any group, but they don’t necessarily want to lead all the time. They are not too interested in talking about feelings or deep relationships.
Possible degree programs: Teaching, History, Nursing, Accounting, Computers, Finance, Real Estate, Insurance, Research, Business.
I think my perfect job would be teaching computers to elementary school kids. Unfortunately, I need a teaching degree for that, and as I mentioned, I don’t foresee going back to college for that. Actually, my perfect job is “stay-at-home mom,” but we’ll see if the economy will allow that to happen.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
hmmmm. this is what i got:
You are a Social Personality Type!
Social people make great teachers! They are great with people because they are open and friendly, and they care about others. They are cooperative, which makes them good in many programs and careers.
They may always be in the center of activity and they are likely to have lots of friends. They are interested in social issues, and they are likely to become politically active. They may use social skills to influence others.
Possible degree programs: Teaching, Ministry, Coaching, Counseling, Nursing, Political Science, Sociology, Anthropology, History, Journalism, Psychology.
that probably explains why owning a business has been primarily a vehicle to fund my other ministry-/teaching-related activities…. interesting…
For some reason it told me I was a realist.:
You are the Realistic Type!
Realistic people are practical, physical, usually pretty fit, and hard-working. They may like to work out doors, in a broad range of areas. Realistic people enjoy nature and may like to work in the forest, on building sites, on a police force, or on a farm.
Realistic people are curious and they like to see how things work. They make great engineers. They are reliable and a bit traditional.
Possible college majors and careers include: Engineering, Agriculture, Animal Science, Construction, Landscaping, Police work, Fire Science, Drafting, Architecture, Park Ranger
Guess I majored in the wrong thing, and am working in the wrong field.
