Must be a limited time offer. It didn't work for me, just reverted back to the start. I even tried e-mail and didn't get an e-mail.

While I am often amazed at how accurate various personality tests can be I am afraid that this one has gotten me dead wrong.
---------------------------
Best Occupational Category
You're an ORGANIZER
Keywords

Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate

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.

ORGANIZER CAREERS
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.

ORGANIZER WORKPLACES
Your very careful, conscientious, conservative nature gives others the confidence to trust you with handling money and material possessions. Structured organizations that have well-ordered chains of command work best for you.

Suggested Organizer workplaces are large corporations, business offices, financial lending institutions, banks, insurance companies, accounting firms, and quality control and inspection departments.
----------------------------

About the only wrods that come close to being accurate are "self control" and "self contained," if by such terms you mean not prone to emotional outbursts or overt displays of emotion (and even there I have my moments of exception).

The rest is pure bullshit.

Organized? Me? HA! Anyone who has seen my home understands why house cleaning is an important demand I make upon my gal pal when it is master/slave time.

Administrator? Only if I can have unfettered authority (most of which I would delegate so I could sit back in my chair and just make decision while doing my best Godfather impersonation). Accountant? Good lord! I die of boredom. Even worse is the notion that I would be happy in a corporate office. That would be my idea of soul killing hell! I would last about three days before I jammed some Pink Floyd into the sound system, stood on my desk and shouted "C'mon you brain dead corporate zombies! FEEL! LIVE!"

The only reason I can tolerate working in an office now is because it is a family business and I can pretty much come and go as I please.

Oh well. I yam what I yam.
