A test to see what you like to do?
awhile back my teacher mentiond a test he took that helped him figure out what he was good at and what his skills/weaknesses were. He took this test because he didn't know what he wanted to do in life, job wise.
Im wondering if anyone knows of this certain test, and if so, a link to a website to take one?
Im just curious to find out if im heading in the right direction...

well my teacher took the test.... before the test he was doing some night shift work at a grocery place I believe and didn't see himself going anywhere.... after he took the test he found out that he was good with computers and teaching things to people, next thing you know hes teaching computers and psychology at my school and loves doing this work.... best of all, he never thought of giving teaching a try...at all

I took an aptitude test back in the high school days... It was quite interesting really. The key is to answer the question truthfully. The results of my test confirmed many of things I alreadyknew about myself.

yeah aptitude tests are just general tests that give you an idea of what profession you, based on your answers, would be well-suited to do. They are only effective if you answer completely honest, and usually have quite surprising results.

which of those tests did you guys take? i took this career assessment test and it said i had to pay to get my real jobs... like it had 20 and only showed me 10-20... not 1-10 i thought that was kinda gay...
but my test i took back in grade 10 career planning (yes that was a course
) said i would be a craftsman/ mechanic which isn't far from where i ended up

The Career Makeover
Jay, you're an Architect!
For you, the world is like one giant puzzle, just waiting to be solved. In your undying quest for the truth, you're best at finding solutions to complex problems. Lucky for all of us, though, you love to share your brilliant thoughts. Your keen analytical skills and understanding of others makes you a vital player in the think tank. You thrive on the collaborative problem-solving process, could trouble shoot for NASA, and won't rest until the questions are answered. The world could use a few more like you.
Who's like you:
Sigmund Freud
Likely careers:
Psychologist, lawyer, market researcher, military strategist, PR strategist
that is my career makeover

I took one of those stupid things in high school. It said my ideal career would be a circus performer. Then all my teachers gave up on me. "Mr.Williams can I get some help on my math after class please?" "Listen spoofy, I don't have time for you" It was tramatic to say the least:cry:
