Got this idea from a fellow SA blogger. Am being total attention / blog whore, I know. Just love these quiz things. I'll stop soon, I promise! Do one for yourself and tell me what your result is.
You scored as Psychology. You should be a Psychology major!

Mine said I should be a biology major. Good thing that I majored and graduated with a degree in Biology then huh? Guess it wasn't a waste of scholarship money!

I just want to know how the hell you scored so low in "Journalism" in comparison to "Anthropology"???
Posted by: Dani | 21 February 2006 at 08:54 PM
Ok. Quiz is done. It told me I should do math. And I *DO* do math. I got 100% on math and engineering. My PhD is in computer science, which is a nice in-between of the two :)
A+ to the quiz!

Well, my result said "English" which is oh so helpful because I work in Engineering (for which I scored 33%). Go figure.

It said I should be a psychology major, but I got 100% is Psychology and Engineering.

I had a three-way tie between anthropology, sociology and psychology. This cracks me up because I was a double major in anthro/soc in college, with a psych minor. I guess these quizzes are good for something.
Posted by: heather | 21 February 2006 at 10:06 PM
It thinks I should be a biology major, which is good since I'm a molecular biologist.

You scored as Engineering. Hilarious, graduated with Computer Engineering degree!

I didn't get 100% for anything which may explain my inability to figure out what I want to do with my life.

I was a fine art major in college, you'd think that woulda come up a little higher on the list no? lol! I think because I answered that I don't like to draw, I'm more of a 3D person.
Posted by: Bec | 21 February 2006 at 10:49 PM
Quiz says I should be a math/engineering major. I *was* in engineering, but I found it boring. I switched to psychology, but the quiz only gave me 25% for psychology. I guess that's fine because I don't really like psychology either.
Posted by: Jeanne | 21 February 2006 at 11:23 PM
Hmm, quiz says that I should be in mathematics. I'm a lawyer. And also have a science degree (with a major in biochemistry and molecular biology).
Maybe I'm just a freak. :-)
Posted by: Kylie | 21 February 2006 at 11:28 PM
I had the three-way-tie in Psychology, Anthropology and Sociology, with Psych as my reccommendation. I have a PhD in Psych, but I still don't know what I want to do with my life!
Posted by: Bella | 21 February 2006 at 11:59 PM
Quel surprise!
I scored highest in Math and my major was Statistics...
Posted by: Jacqueline | 22 February 2006 at 12:40 AM
Quiz said that I should do Engineering.
I guess that's somewhat relevant.
I did a Science degree, majoring in pure maths and have spent the past 30 years working in IT - in the application development area.
Posted by: leigh | 22 February 2006 at 12:56 AM
Mine said English, but only at 75%
Probably explains why I'm floundering around wondering what to do. Dance was next at 67% which makes no sense to me WHATsoever. ;)
Because you inspire me, Tertia, I am an aspiring blog whore, so I've posted the rest of my results on my blog ;)

Hmm... It said my perfect major was Sociology. Which worries me, because I am in fact a professor of Art History.
Posted by: xiaolongnu | 22 February 2006 at 02:33 AM
Good thing I failed to get into Journalism at Uni - I got 8%. Mother would be disappointed in the other 8% I got, in Art, as she is an artist. Genes obviously count for nothin'.
I got the Sociology/Philosophy tie. Contemplated both of these at Uni and did History instead, which I failed. Although I have since started a Grad Dip in History. And failed that too. Majors were in English (50%) and Media, which is nearly Journalism. No wonder I got crap marks!
Fail to see how I would make an equally good Psychologist as an Engineer. When I do these occupational things they always say I should be a nurse, which is so NOT me.
Fun!

Just did a couple more of these on the website. Apparently I was a geek/nerd/loner in school and I am now a preppy, with a dash of trendy. My more fashionable friends will fall over laughing at that.
Off to see how I'm gonna die!
Posted by: Kez | 22 February 2006 at 04:56 AM
Natural causes!! Yay!!
Although equal with Disappearing. Goes with the geek/loner thing, I guess.
Posted by: Kez | 22 February 2006 at 04:59 AM
Apparently I also have Obsessive-Compulsive disorder.
Well. Goes well with the Bipolar disorder that I actually DO have.
Posted by: Kez | 22 February 2006 at 05:02 AM
How on earth can my Disney alter ego be The Beast, Donald Duck, AND Cinderella???!!! Maybe it's the bipolar - quacking one minute, roaring the next. I do have a Prince Charming, though.
Okay, I'll go now.

I'm scared. It suggests math. I am doomed to fail.

I majored in English, and I dig writing and language. Yep, that's more or less accurate. Except that I've never had any interest in journalism. Bloggism, yes; journalism, no.

I scored an eleven-way tie for first. A two-way tie for second. (English & Chemistry at 92%) And Theater came in last at 83%. So I guess that means that I could easily use a dart board to pick a major and still end up with something that I would be good at.

I think this quiz is a bit rediculous. I'm an actuary and LOVE it. It says I should be a Philosophy major huh?!?!?! I hate philosophy.
Posted by: Trish | 22 February 2006 at 12:35 PM
It says I should be a mathematician. No no no! all worng! I HATE maths! Always have and always will. I am quite good at it though, have a Master of Economics, but wish to have scored higher on the language frontier...why did it not suggest any job in that field, or hairdresser? That is my true passion.... mathematician...no no no. Didn't need a test for that, could have just asked MOM (who always thought to know best what is the "right" thing for me)....mathematician....:-(...(note to self: what is wrong with me???)
I have linked your blog/site on mine, hope that was OK? I need to get inspired by people who successfully underwent IF treatment and had a baby...or two :-)
Take care!

For me ... a three way tie for Philosophy; Linguistics and Journalism ... with Chem at the bottom.
Sounds about right.

Thanks for sharing this one with us, Tertia!
Posted by: LadyBug | 22 February 2006 at 07:01 PM
Yeah.. I should be a math major.. I used to like it, but to major in it..
Posted by: Elize | 22 February 2006 at 07:03 PM
When I commented earlier I didn't have time to take the test myself, but just finished it now. Here's me:
Mathematics 100% - It took me 2 1/2 years to pass pre-algebra in high school, lol! (I'm pretty good with head-math though.)
Engineering 83% - I'm pretty mechanical, so I'll buy that one.
Journalism 83% - Could be... I'm nosey enough and don't mind talking in front of people.
Sociology 83% - Hmmm... I'll have to give that one more thought.
Biology 75% - I thought I'd score higher here. Loved all the sciences that I took, and did well in them.
Theater 75% - I took every theater class my schedule would allow for.
Anthropology 67% - I have a cousin who got her anthropology degree from Harvard... does that count?
Philosophy 67% - No interest here.
Psychology 67% - or here.
English 58% - etc.
Chemistry 50% - etc.
Linguistics 50% - etc.
Art 33% - etc.
Dance 25% - I can't dance to save my life, but love it as an art form. I could watch people dance beautifully and not need to breathe to survive while doing so.
I'm sort of a mixed bag if you take away the math. What do I do in real life when I'm not hogging up the comments section on Tertia's blog? I'm a habitual volunteer-er! If it helps people and I have the time and the resources... I'm there! (For actual money, I'm in retail.)
Posted by: Dani | 22 February 2006 at 07:21 PM
Said i should be a math major. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't add 2+2 with a calculator! In fact, i don't even know how to use my calculator! I am a lawyer type and very analytical and good at problem solving, but, only when it involves people, business or things i care about, not numbers.
Posted by: Suzie-Q. | 23 February 2006 at 03:09 AM
You scored as Chemistry.
You should be a Chemistry major! As if that isnt clear enough, you are deeply passionate about Chemistry, and every single chemical reaction and concept fascinates you. Pursue that!
Chemistry 92%
Engineering 92%
Dance 8%
Very interesting, as I majored in Chemical Engineering.
And I cannot dance to save my life.
Posted by: sweetisu | 23 February 2006 at 07:22 AM
Whew! Mine was 100% that I should be a psych major - it's a good thing, too - because I have a BS in Behavioral Psych. :)
