Apropos of nothing, I recently did one of those online psych test things about what sort of career would be good for me. And what it showed (assuming, of course, its accuracy) is why my career path has been, let's call it, neither straight nor, um, rich-making.

Best Occupational Category
You're a CREATOR
Key Words: Nonconforming, Impulsive, Expressive, Romantic, Intuitive, Sensitive, and Emotional
These original types place a high value on aesthetic qualities and have a great need for self-expression. They enjoy working independently, being creative, using their imagination, and constantly learning something new. Fields of interest are art, drama, music, and writing or places where they can express, assemble, or implement creative ideas.

2nd Best Occupational Category
You're an ORGANIZER
Key Words: Self-Control, Practical, Self-Contained, Orderly, Systematic, Precise, and Accurate
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.

So apparently what I'm best suited for is, what, independently using office machines to produce self-expressive but highly-accurate pie charts? Not a lot of call for that....
