Cerena Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I am not sure I put much stock in this 'test'...I specifically said that I do not like tasks requiring manual dexterity and yet 3 or 4 surgical specialities showed up in my top 10 :/ I tried taking the test, but I found that many of the questions were repeated. Was that just me? I figured it would give me a very strange result so I did not finish it. Also, like others have mentioned, the scores are so close to one another. It's odd. You'd think after responding to 130 questions there would be more variation. Oh well. Cynical me. But, just for fun, here are my three preferences at this very early stage: Neurology (memory and dementia, specifically) Emergency medicine Paedeatrics I took other aptitude tests prior to this and they all basically said that paedeatrics would suit me the most. And just about everyone I have met has told me either emergency med or paedeatrics would fit my personality the most. Either way, each of those three really appeal to me at this stage.

ellorie Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think that they repeat the questions to evaluate consistency? Because especially on a long test, people sometimes start randomly answering. Psychiatry came up high for me, which is what I want to do. Some of the others, not so much.
