If you just move film crew from #13 to #1 and move lighting technician from #18 to #3, and move broadcast technician from #28 to #2, I'd say this pretty accurately reflects my tastes.  I think it was the questions about following orders and making people happy that put those career choices so low down but the truth is that it's the higher-up positions that have to do all the ass-kissing ... lowly laborers and A/V techs like myself don't have to deal with the client much or "making people happy".  Hell, I'm just impressed those jobs made it to the list at all.

It told me my #1 was music teacher. This is a remarkably poor fit for me. Teaching, yes, love it. Music, kinda love it too. Musical ability - nope and never going to have it. Not too surprisingly it puts school counsellor and clergy member on my lists, but it puts high school teacher much lower than any of the above mentioned, and I'd rather be a high school teacher teaching psychology. It didn't ask much about psych.
