About This Quiz

Random questions usually aren't as random as they seem. Anything can mean anything someone wants it to mean, and the way these questions are answered actually reveal a lot. The jobs people have can be very similar in how telling they are. This is how they get you with things like personality tests. You answer questions about how you were as a kid, what movies you like, and how you react to stressful situations, and they come back with a whole profile on you. 

When you really think about it, certain jobs really do take certain kinds of people. Someone who thrives in group situations probably wouldn't do well as an astronaut, just like someone who is more productive working alone wouldn't be able to focus in a bustling office setting.

Then there are those people who just take whatever job they can get, and that is a personality all in itself, believe it or not. That fight or flight mentality can cause people to take jobs they never would have otherwise, and ones that don't necessarily make them happy, but get the job done, so to speak. Answer this series of seemingly random questions, and we'll guess what job you have!
