Yes, I was in the military and now work for a fire department. "Organizations structured with clearly drawn lines of authority, for example the armed forces, enforcement agencies, and security protection occupations will work best for you." Yep, that's me. Plus I am a "doer". OMG! Love this test and will be having my husband take it next. <br />Tami<br />JacksonvilleBattlekittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307417039192137643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-80385814618767166912012-07-09T09:18:01.251-04:002012-07-09T09:18:01.251-04:00I got Creator/Organizer.

I'd been brainwashed into believing those were mutually exclusive concepts, but having finished my first detailed whole-book outline this weekend, I have to say it feels really, really good to know what everything is, where it goes, and that it's all there. I still have all the same enthusiasm for getting down to writing the story, but none of the anxiety about running into the Dead Space of the Unknown, so my inner artiste gets along just fine with my inner list-making, collating, labels-out neat freak, after all.Ren Bentonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-87027247133457752852012-07-08T00:50:59.750-04:002012-07-08T00:50:59.750-04:00Was a little skeptical but it was extremely accura...Was a little skeptical but it was extremely accurate. Not in what I do for a job, but in what I love to do. Got Creator/Persuader and was surprised to find educator under the creator listing. <br /><br />I have been homeschooling my children for the last 16 years and teaching co-op classes for other homeschoolers for at least 10 of those years. Don't think I could ever teach in public schools too many rules about what you can and can't say/do.<br /><br />As for Persuader, I have been in a leadership position in at least one homeschool organization for 14 of the 16 years that we homeschooled and even though we graduated our youngest child this last year I am going to continue in leadership positions in two different organizations and continue to teach co-op classes for homeschoolers.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004621623279973346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-55907092628948191252012-07-06T21:14:43.759-04:002012-07-06T21:14:43.759-04:00Creator first, Social Manager second.

Best Occupational C...Wow, that's good. I got:<br /><br />Best Occupational Category<br />You're an ORGANIZER<br />Keywords<br /><br />Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate<br /><br />These conservative appearing, plotting-types enjoy organizing, data systems, accounting, detail, and accuracy. They often enjoy mathematics and data management activities such as accounting and investment management. Persistence and patience allows them to do detailed paperwork, operate office machines, write business reports, and make charts and graphs.<br /><br />ORGANIZER CAREERS<br />Suggested careers are Administrator, Secretary, Printer, Paralegal, Building Inspector, Bank Cashier, Private Secretary, Statistician, Operations Manager, Financial Analyst, Bookkeeper, Medical Records Technician, Developer of Business or Computer Systems, Clerical Worker, Proofreader, Accountant, Administrative Assistant, Banker, Certified Public Accountant, Credit Manager, Store Salesperson, Actuary, Dental Assistant, Business Education Teacher, Food Service Manager, IRS Agent, Budget Analyst, and Underwriter.<br /><br />And as a second choice, Researcher.<br /><br />Not bad as I've spent my entire career in secretarial / administration roles, currently Adminisration Manager. I guess I'm in the right profession after all.Fran Kanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-25285837518491489482012-07-06T08:26:07.772-04:002012-07-06T08:26:07.772-04:00I got the same thing as you, and I am a graduate s...I got the same thing as you, and I am a graduate student right now performing biomedical research.

Dang; should have taken this before I wasted all of those years studying biology! If only had someone had told me that because my favorite color is green, I'd just end up writing novels and blog posts for a living anyway. :pT.K.

The article simplified it so much my results were way off, but when I did the full one, I could definitely see how they'd nailed my interest areas. The good thing is that the results matched what I love to do too :).Margaret M.

I'm currently struggling with a crisis of faith & career choice, and while I don't think I should let some on-line quickie test determine my future, it *did* assure me that I am what I am. And hopefully a new employer will appreciate me more than the present one! <br /><br />BTW, I came out first choice as CREATOR, which is dead on!<br /><br />- BonzBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349574374878051177noreply@blogger.com
