Took a CareerLeader assessment as part of my work sociology mod. Unfortunately it's oriented towards business courses/industries, but these sort of tests are always fun. 27 pages of MCQs! Some amusing results:

You have a notable interest in three core elements of business work:

Counseling and Mentoring
Creative Production
Managing People and Relationships (lolwut?)

You would fit best in an organizational culture that is a bit reserved and on the polite side..People..generally view social and business "networking" as a chore to be avoided or minimized. Your tendency in this direction is very strong...
You would feel most comfortable in a culture in which people take a structured approach to their work and where they value disciplined attention to detail....(and an organization) that places a premium on trying new approaches..relatively "flat" organizations, where a person's job title matters far less than the quality of his or her ideas. Your tendency in this direction is very strong...
You would be happiest in a work culture marked by a spirit of cooperation, interpersonal sensitivity, a tendency to assume the best of people, and perhaps a degree of altruism in the organization's mission..(where ppl) minimize conflict and internal competition. Your tendency in this direction is relatively strong.

Your assessment indicates that you are creative, inventive, open to new experiences and ideas, and curious.
Your assessment also indicates that you tend to be agreeable, trusting, generous, sincere, open to other people, and sympathetic. ..These are wonderful qualities, but some work (and educational) situations call for less sympathy and more toughness, shrewdness, and assertiveness...For these reasons, you should steer clear of organizations in which a high level of toughness and political savvy are essential for success...
Finally, your assessment indicates that you tend to be conscientious, hard-working, self-disciplined, and deliberate in your actions. (lol)

So, maybe not that accurate. And maybe I'm signing on with the wrong organization haha. Anyway, I had my second interview with the rsaf yday, thank God everything went well. Apparently they're preparing contracts already so I guess its too late to back out anyway unless I wanna be blacklisted by the public sector. Feel so blessed, really surprised that only 3 ppl were selected. What's more, Sai Kei's 1 of the other 2 selected..so right off there's already someone I know (and a coursemate to boot) as a probable OCS bunkmate and potential colleague. Ok I better start doing tutorials, seeing as how I skipped school today haha. Honestly, most of the engine lectures are useless, the profs just speak to the transparencies anyway. But thats a rant for another time.
