My friend/roommate took a similar test. It’s results were: Marine Architect, Landscape Architect, and Architect: other than Marine and Landscape. We laughed at it. I will be taking the test shortly…

I’m not sure, but judging from some of these tests you took, I think you are now a Scientologist.

“And when I am doing something routine, my ideaphoria, or brainstorming, aptitude kicks in and my mind starts to wander. I’m a daydreamer.”

You just described me perfectly right there. And that’s why I’m a printmaker.

I remember doing one of those back in school, it told me I should become a “inland sailor”… I should have listened…

Inland sailor sounds like fun. Do you sail across the fields of wheat on an opposite-of-waterworld-type future-craft?

I always imagined this job more being like that Kris Kristofferson movie “Convoy” with boats, but since my only usable skill for the job at that time was knowing all the lyrics to “La Paloma”, I never really looked into it… If they had told me about the giant hovercrafts I would have signed up immediately, but it’s no use to bury the well once the children have burned.

Please tell me that’s a real German expression - “bury the well once the children have burned.”
