    Just gone through that one - and then confused myself by going back and starting again with a different qualification level...:confused:

    Anyways - the result was:
    the type of job I am actually doing/normally do was listed under "recommended groups". In other words - that was totally wrong:rotfl: - as its not actually suitable for me AT ALL - even though I am well capable of it...

    BUT
    the type of job they put down under "recommended groups" to investigate was ones that I tended to agree would be fairly suitable for me.

    HOWEVER:
    the types of job that would suit me best of all werent listed anywhere on either group.

    overall conclusion - I didnt agree with my results personally.

    These tools work to match capabilities and personal attributes to tasks needed for the different types of job. My capabilities and personal attributes would make me very capable of being an undertake. Yet it is the last job on earth I'd do!

    Thank you.
    I thoroughly recommend this questionnaire instead of the one I posted,this one is far better.It gives you a bigger list of jobs and each job title is a clicky for more info on job description,qualification and further links to info on training etc.

    According to this one I scored very highly in IDEAS and ARTISTIC for the 2 main sections and it only gave me job options which were suitable,a vast list,some job titles I didnt even know existed.I only looked at the jobs in the arts and crafts section as it was the one I am more interested in.It opened up into a list for me.
    Much happier with the info from this one and theres a couple of things I will look into further as a result.

  • I got similar results to everyone else and nothing in there that I fancied.

    So, I googled "career tests" and got this.
