Right Job
Paul, based on your unique skill set, the #1 right job for you is an:
Architect
You are the person for a job that involves
thinking outside the box. You are innovative and
intellectual. You don't like paying attention to
administrative details, though you pay attention
to details when necessary for aesthetic or
practical reasons. Organizing and filing do not
appeal to you. Your skills are in the art of
expression, and you have the ability to convey
the message to the intended audience
effectively.
Research has shown that people whose personalities are well-suited to their job environments are happier and more successful. Remember, your Right Jobs were selected because they are good matches for your career personality — they would allow you to exercise the qualities mentioned above. They are not based on the skills you already have, or would need to perform those jobs. Those are things you can learn along the way.
That said, here's a description of the Right Job that is the best statistical match to your career personality. If you don't like the sound of it, you can do a bit more research on the runner-up jobs that match your personality almost as well.
As an architect, you would plan and design structures. Most likely, you'd focus on buildings and their immediate surroundings. In particular, architects plan a building's layout — everything from the look of the building itself to where the rooms, the elevators, the stairs, the doors, and the windows should go. You'd do all this while taking the engineering demands into account — the demands necessary to keep the structure stable and safe. Architects also have to do all this while designing a structure that meets the wishes of the client.
Architects are often responsible for choosing the building materials and equipment within a given budget and timeline. That means you'd oversee every aspect of the project, including supervising workers, preparing contracts, and representing the clients' needs to contractors. Architects typically possess high aptitudes for mathematics, spatial reasoning, and creativity. They have skills and interests in both big ideas and small details. Obtaining a four-year degree and passing the Architectural Registration Examination (administered by the Board of Architecture) are prerequisites to becoming an architect. The exam consists of nine parts and takes four days to complete.
Although the work environment of an architect is the best fit for your career personality, that is not to say you won't be happy in another job. In fact, there are plenty of careers that could use your personality's strengths. Architect was the highest statistical match for your personality characteristics. Look to the right for some other jobs that scored high and would be a great fit for you.

We've already discussed your Right
Job and your Wrong Job, but you
still might be wondering, more
specifically, how we found them.
While you were taking the test, we
determined your scores on six
different personality dimensions. No
one dimension is any better or worse
than the others, but each one is
quite distinct and offers insights
into your unique combination of
attributes, outlooks, and
sensibilities.
Your Right Job is what fell out of the equation when we looked at a couple different aspects of your career personality — more specifically, your primary and secondary personality types. Your Wrong Job is what fell out of the inverse equation, what resulted from your lowest scores on the personality dimensions. But for now, let's focus on your Right Job that was determined by your career personality.
Based on the way you answered the test questions, your primary personality type is Creative, while your secondary personality type is Analytical.
Knowing your type is important for a number of reasons: it will help bring to light aspects of your personality you hadn't thought about before, it will raise issues about matching your personality to a career that you might not have previously considered.
Here's an explanation of what that code and what your primary and secondary personalities mean.
Primary Classification
As a Creative type, your ability to
look at the world with a fresh
perspective keeps life interesting
for you and those around you.
Instead of following the trends, you
want to set them yourself.
Establishing a routine is not your
goal; you would rather go with the
flow and see where your mood takes
you that day. You love seeking new
experiences and sensations. Your
sensitive nature is often turned
inward, but your passionate nature
also means that you are prone to be
impulsive at times.
Secondary Classification
As an Analytical type, your
inquisitive nature helps you enjoy
the complexities of life. You
understand that sometimes there are
no clear right and wrong answers,
and that's okay with you because you
tolerate gray areas better than
most. In fact, pondering potential
outcomes can sometimes be more
interesting than coming up with the
definitive solution for you. You
march to your own drum and enjoy
being in charge more than working
and compromising with others.
Nothing escapes your keen
observational skills, and thinking
is your idea of fun.

Wrong Job
Paul, if you

Beyond the daily tasks of an electrician — testing circuitry, installing and repairing wiring and electrical fixtures — electricians need to truly enjoy working with their hands. In fact, they also need to take pride in seeing the tangible results of their finished work if they are to enjoy their career at all, since so much of their work revolves around testing and retesting new or damaged electrical lines. Many electricians are also on-call and at the mercy of their beepers. That can make scheduling the rest of your life difficult. These are just some of the reasons you wouldn't find life as an electrician very satisfying — why it's the Wrong Job for you.
Electrician
Why shouldn't you be an
electrician? Remember it's
not all about the skills you
have or don't have. The Right
Job for you is the job that
suits your personality best. For
true job satisfaction, your job
environment needs to match your
personality. Even if you like
the idea of what an electrician
does or are good at it
yourself, there are still
reasons this is the Wrong Job
