Now, anyone who knows me would say I don't hate math or science but would also say that I would surely not enjoy a career in them (with the exception of being a CSI, but only if it were like the show and I know better). Sure, I'm an organizer, and I would say I'm a researcher as well. But if you read the description of organizer, it might actually be more accurate to say that it is describing my husband.
I was a little offended that it didn't say anything about creativity, then I reminded myself that this little test was based solely on colors I chose. If I went back and took it right now, I might not even pick the same colors.
Eh, oh well. If any of you feel like taking the quiz, I want to know what it says for you. But I wouldn't take it to heart. Apparently, I should be a bank teller instead of making pretty publications. Um yeah, how's about I not be bored out of my mind instead...

Well, you guessed it yesterday. The thing said I'm a "creator" primarily. The description it gives pretty well fits my job, though:
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.
CREATOR OCCUPATIONS
Suggested careers are Advertising Executive, Architect, Web Designer, Creative Director, Public Relations, Fine or Commercial Artist, Interior Decorator, Lawyer, Librarian, Musician, Reporter, Art Teacher, Broadcaster, Technical Writer, English Teacher, Architect, Photographer, Medical Illustrator, Corporate Trainer, Author, Editor, Landscape Architect, Exhibit Builder, and Package Designer.
I'm an organizer second.
Wait- So it goes through that whole color thing and then asks for your occupational information? That's bullshit.
But I'd say you're definitely an organizer.
Ha, I got organizer (totally off the mark for me) and persuader. You already know the organizer, but here's the persuader part:
"Key Words:
Witty, Competitive, Sociable, Talkative, Ambitious, Argumentative, and Aggressive These enterprising types sell, persuade, and lead others. Positions of leadership, power, and status are usually their ultimate goal. Persuasive people like to take financial and interpersonal risks and to participate in competitive activities. They enjoy working with others inside organizations to accomplish goals and achieve economic success."
I'll buy witty and argumentative. I like debate and I find myself funny. However, I'm only competitive in debating situations. Otherwise I'm the least competitive person I know. I'm far from sociable, and I'm only talkative in spurts. I'm also far from ambitious or aggressive. Does anyone think that either of these classifications has anything to do with me?
I've always thought you would make an excellent building inspector, Meaghan. Or an actuary. (I'm not even sure what an actuary is, so I'm obviously kidding.)
I was also a creator first and organizer second. I actually think that's pretty accurate for me.
Here's what I got. Some things fit, some don't...but I think that's the same for pretty much anyone! It's kinda like horoscopes. You can read anything and find yourself in it...it's called making connections...text to self...but the true crazies are the ones that change themselves to match the profile. Just a thought though.

Evidently I am Chris's job twin. I am a creator, then organizer. Every test I have ever taken (and everything I have ever wanted to do) has encourged me to pursue a job in PR. Too bad PR doesn't want me.
