So the wife hates her job...

My wife and I were talking about how we're both not very happy with our current careers. (When I say my current career, I'm referring to working in IT, not starting a software company!) The wife pointed me toward The Princeton Review Career Quiz. It's pretty interesting. You answer 24 questions and it tells you what your "interest" and "usual" "colors" are. It's kind of interesting.

If anyone cares my "interest" color is blue, which means,
People with blue Interests like job responsibilities and occupations that involve creative, humanistic, thoughtful, and quiet types of activities. Blue Interests include abstracting, theorizing, designing, writing, reflecting, and originating, which often lead to work in editing, teaching, composing, inventing, mediating, clergy, and writing.
My "usual" color is also blue, which means,
People with blue styles prefer to perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is supportive and helpful to others with a minimum of confrontation. They prefer to work where they have time to think things through before acting. People with blue style tend to be insightful, reflective, selectively sociable, creative, thoughtful, emotional, imaginative, and sensitive. Usually they thrive in a cutting edge, informally paced, future-oriented environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.
Take the quiz, and let me know what you got. I'm curious! :)

Hi Michael.. for what it's worth, my interest and usual colours are both blue too! Wonder if there's someone out there with different colours!

That's cool man. :)

Actually, my wife ended up with yellow for "interest". But I didn't save what it means.

Interest Color: Yellow
Style color: Blue

I'm pretty skeptical of these things ... but it seemed to hit the mark with me. BTW, the blurb for Yellow is: "People with yellow Interests like job responsibilities that include organizing and systematizing, and professions that are detail-oriented, predictable, and objective."

My interest color is green
My usual style is yellow

somehow i don't think it worked quite right, cause I'm not really matching the descriptions well at all
