It is obvious! You should be a princess! Can there be any doubt? ;-) Well, there are lots of those kinds of surveys. I can't tell which specific one you mean, but you can find a list of them at www.jobhuntersbible.com, both free and not free. The site is put together by Richard Bolles, career and life-planning guru and author of "What Color Is Your Parachute?", the best single book of its kind. He includes both online personality tests and online career tests. He also is very careful to point out that tests of any kind can only tell you so much. For example, a personality test might tell you your temperment and work style, but it doesn't tell you what your favorite subjects are, or what are your favorite skills. Career tests might be fine, but often they don't include very many job titles or fields. So the most complete career assessment that doesn't cost a lot of money is found in Bolle's own book, "What Color Is Your Parachute?" It is revised every year, and it is an absolute treasure. I have bought seven or eight copies over the years, and I have recommended it to hundreds of people. It can be completed in a weekend.
