Karen has her results from this quiz posted on her site. It tells you what your ideal major should be. I majored in English Literature with a concentration in Creative Writing, because that’s what appealed to me, and that’s what I got good grades in in high school. However, all the personality or career tests we took in high school placed Business in the #1 spot for what I was best suited toward. I think I’m too lazy to run my own business. So out of curiosity, I took the quiz. After I answered a series of questions, it asked me for a tie-breaker. Do I enjoy thinking about what life and the universe has in store for me, or do I find it more important to express myself to others through notes and letters? Argh. I seriously sat there for minutes. They are equally important. Of course this would be the tiebreaker. I am truly tied on these things. But in the end, I clicked on the life thing. No reason. One is what I think a lot right now, the other is how I express what I think. Anyway, the results are:

You scored as Philosophy.

You should be a Philosophy major! Like the Philosopher, you are contemplative and you enjoy thinking about the purpose for humanity’s existence.

Philosophy 100%
Journalism 100%
Mathematics 92%
Psychology 83%
Art 82%
Linguistics 75%
English 67%
Theater 67%
Engineering 67%
Biology 42%
Dance 42%
Anthropology 33%
Sociology 33%
Chemistry 8%

Hmm. Is this why I really wasn’t interested in English Lit while I was majoring in it, and therefore didn’t do all that well in my core classes? The results are a bit surprising. Or maybe it’s just my present mood.

I just looked at my results list again. Haha, I am the Asian parent’s worst nightmare. All non-lucrative things. I should be into chem and bio and engineering and become a doctor or lawyer. And what’s up with that mathematics thing?!
