I mostly agree with my results. I agree with the artist area of this profiler because I am very artsy and enjoy music and art. They are my hobbies
and favorite things to do. Seeing as I play many instruments and sing and dance, this is a good fit. I agree with social because I want to be a
teacher and that is very much a social career, and as long as I am not being forced to work with small children (non-high school kids) in large
groups, in which case they are unbearable. I also think it might be interesting to go into a therapy-type field. I do not agree with the enterprising
piece because I do not see business/marketing as a future career, seeing as I don’t enjoy it enough or as much as the humanities.
