Interesting number of results in the legal profession, which is a default career in my family. Not only is my brother an attorney, but three out of my nine cousins are also attorneys, and a fourth cousin who's a Jesuit studied law at Oxford.

Okay, Campers, I just took the test again, trying to get specific results and got the same. I think they might be random, like the "past lives" one, only they remember your ISP?

I intentionally picked "like very much" for everything that could even vaguely be construed as writerly, and it still didn't come up.

So, it's just a game.

Anyone want to come visit me in my office and play with the real thing ;-)?

I've always assumed that all of these things are random, ever since the one we took in Grade 9 Health class that, as far as I could determine, predicted equal success for me in any career from long-distance truck driver to neurosurgeon...

Sure. Only I somehow doubt I can get to you by public transit. ;)
