ReplyDeleteFrankly,I agree with the result of the test. I think that CEO is the ideal job for me. I believe that CEO is one of the most coveted, jobs in a company.CEO for me means the power, the salary, and the chance to be the Boss. Everyone believes that CEO s can do whatever they want, are all powerful, and are magically competent. The most think I like in CEO s is that they have a vision and they are able to communicate the vision of the company.Moreover,Many successful CEO s are passionately curious people.
ReplyDeleteThat's right - you're not bossy; you're the boss.
DeleteAfter responding to the several questions on the "What's The Best Career Path for You Quiz", apparently I should be either a judge, politician or a CEO. I can't agree more with the results. As it's said, I have a big self confidence which makes me defeat everything that I consider as an obstacle. I know to succeed in doing some tasks more than one person is needed, as we say two brains are better than one, but I prefer much more to work by myself. I have my own idea that I want to executed. I don't like when people interfere in my decisions like a CEO or a politician as proposed. Also, before applying to a business major, I really wanted to do law studies but I changed my mind at the last moment. According to my personality, I think that CEO would suit me perfectly as a future job.
ReplyDeleteGo get 'em with that positive attitude, lady!
DeleteAfter taking this quiz I was suggested to become a lawyer. I think it would have been a good career for me because I would’ve been able to be self-employed. Furthermore, if I were a lawyer, I would have feel so much adult and wouldn’t have to ask if I can change my lunch time. What I love the most about being a lawyer is freedom. For instance, if I ever want vacation time I can just plan it without having to ask the boss. It’s the best job in the world because a lawyer will get paid to read, write, think, talk and argue; all things you would do anyway. Being a lawyer gets you the opportunity to help someone who desperately needs your help. I would have loved being one because I would have been able to make a difference in someone’s life. Pursuing a career in law is something that I might have been interested with if I wasn’t a business student now.
ReplyDeleteI like that you are thinking about what your job could offer your lifestyle instead of just the amount of money on the paycheck. Good thinking!
DeleteThe Wise Visionary
ReplyDeleteThat was the result of my test. It has been said that my personality is perfect for being an entrepreneur, a lawyer, a scientist, a psychologist or even a professor. Well I may agree with this result. First, I can’t deny that I have been willing to be a psychologist for a long time. This has changed lately, when I decided to choose engineering as a major. Now, that I am older and more mature, I have different objectives. I would like to be an entrepreneur. It has been deduced from my test that I am creative, inspirational and flexible. Which is true. When it comes to me having the creativity of an artist but the intellect of a scientist and the potential to solve incredibly complex problems while deeply inspiring those around me in the process, I may partially agree. For I am working on inspiring people around me instead of being indifferent in some situations. Second, it has been said that I need the freedom to think and create, which is so true. I hate being under control of something or someone. I guess this is it. Being an entrepreneur fits me like a glave. And I am working in order to achieve it.
I am really glad to hear you'd like to be a psychologist one day. I think they will be very popular in Morocco in the future. I hope you achieve your goal.
DeleteAn Entrepreneur.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the results of the quiz. Entrepreneur, is the job that I dream of, and I think it would be good for me, because all my skills are very useful in this major. For example, I think that I the potential to solve incredibly complex problems. In addition to that, I’m so creative, intelligent to move on the business and to gain more profit. Being on my desk alone and wearing a uniform, make me more comfortable to give and focus more on my work. I’m also characterized with my intellectualism; I engage and appeal the intellect. And I’m strictly observant of an appointed or regular time. Entrepreneur is my favorite job and it’s the job that best suits my personality.
You can be the CEO of Whatever You Want.
DeleteI totally agree, I think I would be an excellent entrepreneur.The career path of the disciplined leader suits best my personality.I am a natural born executive.I take great opportunities ,I've never missed one . I am charismatic and incredibly self-disciplined, at least that's what people say about me. I believe that the worst enemy is people challenging me not myself. I am also optimistic, in have a natural thirst for success.I am actually not that confident about myself but i have a superb communication skills.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you agreed with the test results.
Deletestart-up entrepreneur or marketing expert is the best job for me. As it said in the result, I am up for any challenge , and it's my quality because I never give up. Being a marketing expert will allow me to take the challenge of the concurrence. In addition to that, It said that I am adventurous which is true because we have to take some risks to succeed. Moreover, It said that I am energetic , and it describes me perfectly because i am very productive. It's also mentioned that I succeed more under pressure which true because i am a person who loves challenges and want always to win. Furthermore, criticizing me as it said it's just a motivation for me. I think that they described me and my future career as it has to be.
ReplyDeleteWhat ideas do you have for start-up companies?
DeleteI partially agree with the results of the quiz. I think that some of the suggested jobs would be good for me. Photography and psychology are the two carriers that are suggested in the results test. I really like and think about being a psychologist. I have always been interested about psychology, human personality, and how human’s mind work. I like listening to people’s, helping them, and try to suggest solution to their problem. Photography is my hobby. It’s fun to go out in my free time and take pictures. Photography makes me think more about myself and get fresh ideas. It make me feel good. I like being serious and work hard but having fun and enjoying my days is one of the important think while working.
ReplyDeleteYou seem very introspective, Zineb, and I think you would make a good psychologist. It's are career path you should consider.
DeleteI agree with the result of the quiz. Indeed, being a CEO is what I want after my studies. I personally think that I have the characteristics to succeed in it. I always prefer doing things by myself even if working in team could sometimes help. I like to take my own decisions and to take the full responsibility if they are bad. The quiz also proposed for me to be a politician or a judge. I don’t think that I’m made for that. I don’t want to be a politician because of the media’s pressures and the inexistant private life. I’m not interested of being a lawyer or a judge. Law’s studies have never interested me.
ReplyDeleteI agree! The much vultures stop good people from becoming politicians.
DeleteFirst of all, I totally agree with the results of this smart test. Many people around me share the same opinion is these results. The qualities that are mentioned are actually real and present in my personality. An entrepreneur or a CEO are the right jobs that can fit me. This is why I'm studying Business Administration here in AUI. Since my childhood, I've been dreaming of being a boss of a big company; I don't want to have a boss, I want to be my own one.I'm a dreamer, a hard worker and I do everything to have a successful life. I think a lot about my future; for instance, I'm already thinking about the way I will ask my girlfriend (hope so) to marry me. I wish that these results are true, and that I will be a CEO or an entrepreneur in the future.
ReplyDeleteI do think it's very romantic of you to already be thinking of ways to purpose. What a charmer! I hope you can charm your way up the corporate ladder one day, too.

ReplyDeleteI quite agree with the result of the test. I think that entrepreneur suits me perfectly. Despite the fact of being shy, I am quite creative and ambitious. I like to take initiatives, create, organize and reach a good result. I do not like having a boss who gives me orders, because as stubborn as I am I know that I will not follow his instructions. I prefer to manage my own ideas and share them with others. Also, I'm a pretty flexible person. I adapt quickly to any kind of situation and I try to find a solution to this one. Additionally, I prefer to work in a relaxed way. I do not like the predefined working structures, because I think that a man is more creative and imaginative when he is appeased morally and mentally.
ReplyDeleteJust remember: ambition without knowledge is like a boat on dry land.
DeleteThe Disciplined Leader
ReplyDeleteMy test result was “The Disciplined Leader”. To be honest, I was a little bit disappointed. This is mainly due to the fact that I have never seen myself to be disciplined, especially at work. I believe that I could eventually be the leader of a company or I would be my own business in the future. However, being disciplined would not probably be one of my best attitudes. I cannot be attached to a single stuff or a couple of cities to work in for the rest of my life. I prefer to be traveling from time to time. Of course, I want to be my own boss, so I would never have someone to tell me what I have to do. I believe that I would be able to manage a company that has several branches in different cities or in other countries. That would be a perfect opportunity for me to travel from time to time, and avoid being stuck in one place. To sum up, being a boss or a leader are probably not the only jobs that I could do. I do any other job. I just have to like what I am doing, but if I am sure about one thing is that I would never be disciplined in my job.
It's good to be self-aware of both your strengths and weaknesses.
DeleteI totally agree with my result. It says that I have the creativity of art, and that is right! I love doing anything that I can be myself and be creative. ‘’You need the freedom to think and create’’ which is true. I personally like to have all the freedom for myself to think or to be creative. And I always like to lead. I can’t be in a job where someone is telling me what to do. I like to lead myself and do what I like and want to do. Or else, I won’t achieve what’s in my mind of creation and thoughts. Also, I like to be my own boss. I can never imagine myself being told to do things because once I feel I’m under pressure of someone else I lose my thinking and creativity. I think I got this from my father, he also hates being told what to do. Now he is his own boss. I think I’m seeing myself in ten years in him.
ReplyDeleteI think you would be successful owning a publicity of party-planning company.
DeleteI was surprised by the results after finishing the quiz. Actually I was surprised how the results were right. According to the test my ideal job is to be a performer. As a matter of fact, I wanted to be a DJ and a music producer since I was a kid. Like all the kids I had many crazy dreams, but being a DJ is actually the one that has survived so far. For me music is a very big part of my life. I like almost all kinds of music especially Electro and House music. I have been mixing music in some programs since I was in the 8th grade. However I didn’t have the opportunity to mix in a professional mixing table.
ReplyDeleteYou should check out my friend Cooper's music: https://soundcloud.com/priapizzm
DeleteI totally agree with the quiz results, because I always thought before taking this test that these job will be perfect to me for several reasons. First of all, being an entrepreneur allows us to be the masters of ourselves, and it also requests a high potential. The person need to be clever and creative at the same time and I think that I have those qualities. I am also a very optimistic person because I believe that many good things could happen, thus I don’t give up when problems faced me. I think that I am also a courageous person, because even if I am not sure at a hundred percent I try it. I think that being courageous is a quality that each entrepreneur should have because they invest and risk their money. I like also to try new things and change my methods when I discovered something better. After few years of work, I think that I will be ready to be a leader and that’s what the job of entrepreneurship requires.
ReplyDeleteI agree that in order to be a good leader, you have to be clever and creative, but you also have to be an expert at dealing with other people. It's a difficult job.
DeleteAccording to the quiz, I should be a CEO. I totally agree with this result because because this job is for me. I think that I have all the necessary qualities to practice this job. I have always dreamed to have my own company. I am also studying business to improve my skills to become a good CEO. Like I said before, my best job is to create my own business. I hope that my company will be in the same place I live because it´s easier to work when your place of work is closer to you. I really hope to earn my degree and to create my own company in the next 10 years.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of company would you hope to own, Karim?
DeleteI have to be a CEO according to the test. I think the result totally match with my personality. I am a self-disciplined person by nature and I like to be organized. Also, I always want my work to be perfect and well organized. In addition, I believe that I have the communication skills required to be a CEO. Being a CEO is the way for me to see where I can lead my company. It is also an opportunity to start form nothing and keeps working until reaching the success. I have always dreamed to start a business with my father, and I hope I will be able to do it after 5 years.
ReplyDeleteI think would be very cool if you started a family business with your dad. His experience with your youthful creative could be genius.
DeleteI totally agree with the result. I have always dreamed to be a party planner and it's exactly what I got after taking the quiz. I hate being behind a desk all the day with a formal dress. What I really like is to be constantly in movement, in a creative environment. Since I was a child, I have always dreamed about working in a area where music, dance and happiness would be present, and being part of an event company and being a party planner is the perfect job for that. Of course it demand lot of work, imagination and stress, but I know that I can do it. Besides someone told me one day that if you really like what you are doing no one can stop you reaching your goal. I have always imagined the perfect party; the one that I know everybody would like. I want to realize my dream, and this quiz just confirmed that it is exactly what I really want to do.
ReplyDeleteSome things are just meant to be. You are very outgoing and smart, and I'm sure you'd be a great party organizer.
DeleteThe result doesn't match my personality 100% .It's true there are some points in common, but there is also differences. What I see is so far from my personality and also my major because politics is not my field and neither the law that's me personally . however ,the result has targeted one of my strongest characteristics is that I never miss the opportunity and I belive on the first opportunity. As they pointed out another strong point is communication I am able to communicate with people easily and the language was never a barrier for me.In addition to that when I target a goal I never let it down . So basically , the result mentioned all my characteristics yet they failed about the career .
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe there is another career out there that can highlight a lot of your talents and skills that the silly online quiz didn't think of.
DeleteI completely agree with the results. The results say that I would make an excellent entrepreneur, which is true. It’s also true that I am incredibly self-disciplined and charismatic. I never miss an opportunity, and I have never been my own enemy. I am so demanding, and once I have an idea on my mind I have to achieve it. Therefore, I have a natural thirst for success that allows me to get to my goal. The quiz says that I am confident with great communication skills which are totally true. I really liked the result because it sort of motivated me to go for my dreams and never give up.
ReplyDeleteIt's really important for women to be confident. It's also very hard. I hope that you keep your optimism and confidence forever.
DeleteI've got as result an entrepreneur.
ReplyDeleteAn entrepreneur would be acceptable because I love adventure in work. I also like taking risks and challenging my self to achieve goals. It's known that risks taken when investing in projects are like gambling, which is something I love doing. Furthermore, I probably have another strength that is severity, so I would have ability to push people to their limits and make big profit. In addition, I am organised, and I do not rely on others to do my work, but I complete my obligations alone to ensure their quality.
The willingness to take risks is key to being a good entrepreneur.
DeleteI've got "The Wise Visionary". I wasn't surprised by the quiz results since I've taken a lot of similar quizzes and I had the same results. I strongly agree with the results and think that the jobs suggested are perfect for me. I even find it hard to choose. However I don't think that I can be a lawyer; I don't have the patient to learn the low by heart even if I'm a good convincer and I like to help people. I wouldn't like to be a psychologist or consultant because I'm quit moody, I'll be helping people and depressing myself. I used to talk to my friends for hours to make them feel better and it was very successful but I stopped because it used to make me depress therefore I avoid asking questions or having long conversations now. I like taking pictures but I find being a photographer a boring job that doesn't make a big change I won't feel that I'm adding something to the world. I like writing but I'm not good enough to be a successful writer. I like being a professor, scientist or publicist but I'd rather stuck with entrepreneur because I feel like it's the write thing to do.
ReplyDeletesorry for the late post I though it was already posted but it wasn't because of an internet issue :/
DeleteYou would make a great professor, I think. You like learning and you are a great communicator of ideas. Think about it!
Delete
ReplyDeleteAccording to the quiz result .I should be a professor ; i agree with the result of test , i think being a writer or a professor is the best and ideal job for me . being a professor is what I want after my master studies , personnaly I think that I have the characteristics ; I am a hard worker and I always ready to help people . And It says that I’m literally have the power to be the change that I wish to see in the world. Many people around me share the same opinion in the same result because since my childhood I went to change to world and to spread happiness and help people in different way and to draw smile in people’s face and to be a creative and productive person in my society .
From my experience, being a professor is a good job!
DeleteI completely disagree with the result of the quiz because I’ve never thought to be a teacher. For me this job is boring and essential in our community. However, I think that I can use my capacities for something more complex and more developed. For example, helping to solve one of the 21th century challenges. In addition, I didn’t chose an engineer career path for being a teacher at the end. If I found something worth to teach and who is really challenging I could change my priorities, but for now I have the conviction that I should work hard, and all the other things will came after.
ReplyDeleteWell, you could always be an engineering professor, no?
DeleteI am not ready yet to know if I can agree with the result of the quiz or not. Engineering have always been interesting me. Since I was young, I have been passionate by computer sciences. Before he passed away, my father had always been encouraging me to do engineering studies and I have always agreed with that. However, at this moment of my life I sincerely don’t know what I want to do on my studies. I am confused because I am starting getting interest to B.A studies. Right now, I still don’t know what tomorrow holds for me.
ReplyDeleteThe pursuit of knowledge is an education in itself. I understand not knowing exactly what you want your career to look like.
