I've done these types of tests before, to gauge where I should go in my life, as far as a career.
According to Live Career my best options:
Your highest score was on Writing, which means that youOn the downside:
enjoy creative or technical writing. You are also likely to be interested in a
broad range subjects, so finding occupations that allow you to exercise these
interests would lead to higher work satisfaction for you. You also scored highly on Teaching / Social Service, indicating that you
enjoy instructing people in learning new things, helping people solve problems,
and assisting others. Your high score on the Persuasive
scale means that you enjoy work which involves influencing, advising,
counseling, guiding, motivating or directing the activities of others.
Your lowest interest score was on Clerical. You’re not
likely to be fulfilled doing routine office work that involves filing,
record-keeping, word processing, operating office machines, attending to
details, and other repetitive office tasks. You also showed low interest on Systematic, so you dislike routine assignments in which
order and persistent, steady effort are required. Job security is
not so important to you. Plus, you can tolerate frequent schedule
changes and situations in which you must make quick decisions. Finally, your low
score on Industrial Art means that you wouldn’t enjoy making or
repairing things using machinery, or by hand.
Next they defined my approach to work. That ought to be fun to look at!!!
My high scores:
Investigative types enjoy the challenge of problem solving in mathematics, technology, and sciences, and the abstract and practical ideas related to these areas. Applied science, such as engineering, technology or computer science may also be of interest to them. They can be technically creative.
Artistic types are often thought of as original and creative by others. Such people enjoy expressing themselves in artistic ways such as acting, dancing, creating music or visual art, or by expressing their ideas either through discussion or debate.
Social types are interested in helping to keep others emotionally or physically healthy, or in teaching others. They enjoy giving advice and working directly with people, either in groups or individually.
Med Scores:
Enterprising types are people-oriented. They like to talk to, influence and persuade others. They are confident, adventurous, assertive and show leadership.
Attentive types enjoy helping others, serving others' personal needs and looking after the comfort and well-being of others. They are happy in jobs requiring sociability, politeness, patience and a happy disposition.
Low Scores:
Conventional types enjoy supervising others in jobs where rules and tasks are well defined. They show careful attention to detail, are organized, follow instructions well and prefer jobs where their daily duties are regular and fixed.
Realistic types like physical activity, working with their hands, and are mechanically-inclined. They enjoy working outdoors and do not mind physical risks on the job.
After that, disappointingly, they skip to what they are really after - money.
They do try to guise this process as a way to get to a career. However, like MAPP (another assessment test they are tied to), they are really only interested in getting you to pay them $30, $50 or $100 or more for the analysis of what you need to be doing. It is a fairly accurate portrait of me.
Later!!

I think it's kind of great that "writing" comes out on top! I took one of these tests when I was in college and didn't know what I wanted to be. After spending a fortune, the career counselor said, "You can be whatever you'd like, if only you can tell me what that is." What a waste!
This is great! I think I may have to do the same test. Unless it costs money. In which case, I will pull all of the best answers from yours and claim them as my own. That's allowed, right?
Great article. I like reading something new. Especially I like some analyses and statistics. Last week I made a research about the popularity of prime essay writing. And it's very common now. Students don't want to write an essay they better do some job and earn more money.
