You have great respect for facts, which you acquire through your sensing thinking mind. Although at times theories and ideas which are different to your own perspective you may have difficulty in understanding, once you have been shown the importance of the concept, you will go to all lengths to support and work to complete your duty.

Reflection
After taking the career test, I feel shocked because the results are too good to be true. I couldn't imagine one of my possible career suggestions is police or military leader as I never think of myself being a policeman. It is unbelievable! My personal career choice is to venture into health science fields. For the time being, I am considering pharmacy as my future career. However, pharmacist is not listed as my possible career path according to the career test above. The career test suggested that being medical doctors and dentists suit my personality but I don't think so. I don't think I will be a good doctor. As for other career suggestions, they are quite far from my area of interest. Nevertheless, I still take the career test result as a reference when I choose my career pathway in the future.
