Prospects.co.uk quiz results:

I've taken a quiz that shows all possible careers that I would most likely fit in. These careers were specifically selected for me based on the questions I've answered on Prospets.com. However, I do not see myself in most of these careers.

In addition, I also did a personality test using the 16personality online text and have gotten the personality of an ISTP-A. With this in mind I can search for jobs that suit this type of personality.
