Do you think the tests were accurate? Why or why not?
I think that, over all, the quiz results were very off. The only quiz that gave a correct analogy to my personality was the VARK Questionnaire because I do tend to remember things better by looking at graphics and highlighting important details. The quiz that gave the most inaccurate results was the Holland’s Personality Test. Never have I thought of myself as ‘entrepreneurial’. If anything, I am the exact opposite. I could not care less about making money at the moment. The artistic part is kind of off as well. I am not good at painting, drawing, or any form of art besides, maybe, dance.
What surprised you?
                The only thing that really surprised me was how wrong the results were about me, in all honesty.
What insights into yourself were accurate?
                The only accurate result was from the VARK Questionnaire saying that I am a visual learner.
Do your results steer or direct you in a certain career path or field?
                No, not at all! The tests were too inaccurate to even consider changing my career path.
Were there any reoccurring themes between the four quizzes?
                Yes, most of my results revolve around the enterprise industry which really surprised me. I have always thought of myself as having more of a social or investigative career.

  1. That's very interesting you found that the quizzes were really off why do you think that? I found that the quizzes were pretty accurate except for the career quiz.

  2. I am also curious as to why you think the results were way off on most quizzes? Do you possess any attirubtes that would make you a successful entrepreneur?
