just wait and see

While I was working at the university all campus leaders had to take a personality test. There was no real reason behind us doing it, I guess it was more for the hell of it, but the result I got was that I was the ISTP. The first career they recommend for ISTP’s is that of a mechanic.

Now this is funny, because since I was young I have always enjoyed pulling things apart to see the inner mechanics behind them. Adding that a good few of my close relatives have a lot to do with cars (Even my dad); and to top it off recently I pulled apart an engine, which I found it to be the most fun thing in the world.

It would seem that the prediction that I should be a mechanic is correct. However I could never do it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the concepts behind cars and engines. But in reality they are super fiddly. To get into anything you need specialised tools and it takes a lot of effort to get a single stupid piece to ‘fit’.

It’s ridiculous and take hours to achieve anything meaningful. Working on car’s sucks.

So I conclude that the Myers-Briggs personality test is wrong (If only a little).

I love cars but I’d hate to own one again.
