Your answers can give you some clues to your ideal career. While
virtually all careers involve working with people, information, and
things, and many allow some creativity in doing the job, most careers
focus on one particular aspect and most of us have a distinct
preference.
If you answered mostly A's, your ideal career probably involves working
with people. According to Human Resources Development Canada’s National
Occupation Classification, these careers may involve: mentoring,
negotiating, instructing, consulting, supervising, persuading, speaking,
serving, or assisting. Possible career choices include: teacher,

If you answered mostly B's, your ideal career probably involves working
with information. These careers may include tasks such as synthesizing,
coordinating, analyzing, compiling, computing, copying, or comparing.
Possible career choices include: library assistant,
editor,
web
developer,
professional
organizer, accountant,
private investigator.
If you answered mostly C's, your ideal career probably involves working
with things. Tasks you might do in these careers include setting up,
precision working, controlling, driving, operating, tending, feeding, or
handling. Possible career choices include:
chef,
repair person, carpenter, collectibles dealer, veterinary assistant,
mechanic.
If
you answered mostly D's, your ideal career is probably creative.
Possible career choices include:

Of course there are many more careers to choose from, but knowing your
