You're a DOER
Keywords:

Emotionally Stable, Reliable, High Energy, Practical, Thrifty, and Persistent

These adventurous types prefer action-oriented, concrete problems rather than dealing with thought-provoking, ambiguous, abstract dilemmas. Fields of interest include mechanical, construction, and outdoor careers. They might also enjoy working with machines, tools, and equipment to repair or build something.

I've been a computer programmer for 40 years, but I probably would have liked being a machinist (custom work, only, please ) But bit-pushing is sooo profitable!

Hahahahahaha.

Says I'm a CREATOR.

And what do I do for a living...

...well...

I'm a mortgage banker.

(But I do like to built VBA code into my Access databases and Excel spreadsheets to make my balancing more efficient!)

You two need to take that act on the road!

Here's my top two: I'm not sure they're all that accurate, but ..sure. The second one actually seems closer. And I *was* a web designer for awhile, so...maybe.

The 2nd is a bit closer to me, but.... Well, actually the 2nd is much closer. I was a cancer registrar and I loved it! Not the cancer part, but the files, the paperwork, the record-keeping, computer entry, the details!
What are the other choices? What colors do you have to pick to be a 'creator'? (Just look at my avatar and tell me I'm not a creator!) Inquiring minds want to know!!

(Second color choice)

Not to toot my own horn, but I could go for the Social Manager thing! I am a homeschool mom!

Mine said something about being creative, which is bollocks really, because I actually just plagiarise, remix, rinse and repeat. Then it said something about being a social something-or-other, which is also bollocks, because I like socialising about as much as I'd like a fire ant enema (i.e. not very much). 'Course, I am part colour-blind, so perhaps I just kept picking my favourite shades of greyscale.

I like the colour blue.

Cheers,
Marc (it's the same colour as my favourite bottles of gin)

[Katti's Cat]

Well I'm a creating persuader or a persuading creator - either which way I gotta go back to uni and change my job as none of the suggested ones is anywhere near what I do nor interests me.

Maybe I am colourblind as well.

These tests are rigged.

I would believe them a bit more if every once in a while they called someone a jackass or a creep.
