[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 261777, member: 6479"] Seconding the Myers-Briggs thing. May seem a little hokey, but my Mom was trained to admin the test, and did so for a few years. Got my best friend and I interested in it when we were younger. We STILL sit around discussing how to approach a friend who is a certain type---and it absolutely works. It's not a "omigod, you're like [I]totally[/I] a butterfly!" sort of test---it just has you describe yourself by answering a bunch of questions. Then it tells you the shorthand description of your basic personality factors, and then you can look up the type of careers that sort of personality might enjoy. For example, I am an "ENTP" - basically, that means I'm generally pretty extroverted, I'm big-picture oriented (not good with details!!), I'm super-logical (not emotional at all, it's my big downfall), and I can't pre-plan to save my life (hellllo, procrastination). That's a big simple version, but basically it. Here's my "career list" from one site, and they're dead-on: [URL]http://www.personalitypage.com/ENTP_car.html[/URL] It may help at least give you some ideas! [/QUOTE]
