mmm - it says I'm an organiser

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.







I really enjoyed my work as analyst and computer programmer so I guess this is pretty accurate







The backup job is a persuader (since I hate to talk this one is definitely not accurate)

How interesting! Mine is such a dichotomy, though. Most people don't think of creative types as being organized. Guess that's why I don't fit the mold of the typical artist. But, I would totally hate a job with numbers like accounting...I'm good at math, but I don't like it! LOL!

I mean, mathematics and detail oriented is a lot what computer stuff is about. now me, creator and social, how does THAT correlate to computer engineer? but then, I kinda hate my job so maybe that's why, maybe I should have been something more creative and social. but, oh well, Im good at what I do...

Very interesting, mainly because I was a piano teacher for over 30 years, performed in piano concerts, and love to paint and draw. And, in my early years, I worked as a secretary and administrative assistant.

This is the exact combo that I had. I guess that I chose the correct career path. I was a Cosmeologist and a Manager of Eddie Bauer and Brauns prior to marriage. I was a heck of a sales person and doing hair is definately what I would call creative. Fun quiz. Thanks!!
