So a close friend of mine recommended I take a career/ personality assessment. I had low expectations honestly. But when I read the results it scarily accurate.
And it's not the kind of accuracy of overall generalized tests that may fit a variety of people. The results purely matched my identity.
So I thought I'd share them.

So to start, I have an emotional attachment to the familiar. I prefer routines & procedures. I have a tendency to get anxious or other negative feelings towards change that I do not have control over.

I like work that is planned, scheduled, and can be completed. I'd always rather complete something rather than moving on, but if I can't it'll stay in the back of my head until it gets done.

I am highly independent socially. I am willing to do work that is intentionally apart from others.

I prefer working with things and physical work.

I like understanding how things work. Ideas, concepts and meaning. I prefer fact, reality, and tangible processes. My perception of things are usually based on fact/ past experiences.

This one was interesting : I am not motivated by recognition, status or competitive gain.
My personal and internal interests are what motivate me. I see myself as talented, self-sufficient and goal oriented. (This is funny) I regard work activity as more important an interaction with people. Even tho I tend to be naturally empathetic, sympathetic, generous and helpful. I am always willing to lend a helping hand and address peoples problems. I am tempted to get personally involved with peoples personal lives in order to help. It's hard for me to ignore or say no to anyone hurting as I am highly aware of it.

I like working under managers who I see as competent and knowledgeable. And my performance and moral may go down if I do not feel satisfied with my working environment created by that manager.

I have excellent retention, perception and recall of literal detail. I see details as important but I also link them to a piece of a bigger picture.

I feel called out cuz it says I don't like thinking about the future. Or making choices that could affect the future. I'm not a fan of the hypothetical or intangible ideas. (This makes sense when I cringe as people want me to make decisions based on a future I cannot see. When people I'm dating would say one day we can get married and have a house together. Or like one day I will move closer. I don't like thinking about that cuz there seems like so many other outcomes where it might not happen. I'd rather think in that year when we are ready to be together. We can. Until then don't talk to me about it.) more on this, it says I prefer to count on things now and pin them down in order to best use and rely on them.

I am not motivated to persuade and am probably not equipped to do so. I am also intimidated by individuals who are very persuasive (lowkey all my manipulative exes).

My preferences are affected by beauty, color, shape, size. (Lowkey makes me think of hardware because of the different colored tools). And my preference towards keeping like colors alike, big boxes at the bottom. Perfect organization.

I like communicating with people with the intention that the information I have will be to their benefit and interest. I am not very persuasive usually, but if I feel like something needs to be known by someone I will attempt to persuade them. (I see this with my willingness and desire to talk about finances with people. And if I think someone is gonna make a bad financial decision I do want to tell them).

I like thinking about people psychologically and philosophically. I like thinking about the outcome of people and if I can directly be involved with it I will try.
