Feeling Blue?

For those that have been talking with me over the past, say, 2 years or so, you know that I've been at a loss for that "special place" I belong to in the quote-unquote real world. Through a roundabout link from my internet wanderings today (I won't divulge, as it would clearly demonstrate how painfully boring my morning has been) I discovered and completed the Career Quiz at The Princeton Review.

Apparently, both my Interest Color and my Usual Style is Blue. I'm not sure what the significance of their color coding system is but their assessment is as follows:

People with blue Interests like job responsibilities and occupations that involve creative, humanistic, thoughtful, and quiet types of activities. Blue Interests include abstracting, theorizing, designing, writing, reflecting, and originating, which often lead to work in editing, teaching, composing, inventing, mediating, clergy, and writing.

People with blue styles prefer to perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is supportive and helpful to others with a minimum of confrontation. They prefer to work where they have time to think things through before acting. People with blue style tend to be insightful, reflective, selectively sociable, creative, thoughtful, emotional, imaginative, and sensitive. Usually they thrive in a cutting edge, informally paced, future-oriented environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.


And, given this assessment, one of their suggestions? Secretary. SIGH.

I do like that "selectively sociable" bit though. Ha!
