not surprised really...
so I took a fairly elementary career quiz (randomly surfing not soul searching i promise) from the princeton review. and here's what it threw up:
Your Interest Color is Green
People with green Interests like job responsibilities and occupations that involve persuasion, sales, promotions, and group or personal contact. People with green Interests enjoy activities that include: motivating, mediating, selling, influencing, consensus building, persuading, delegating authority, entertaining, and lobbying. These Interests often lead to work in marketing, advertising, training, therapy, consulting, teaching, law, and public relations.
Your usual style is red
People with red styles prefer to perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is action-oriented and practical. They prefer to work where things happen quickly and results are seen immediately. People with red styles tend to be straightforward, assertive, logical, personable, authoritative, friendly, direct, and resourceful, and usually thrive in a self-structured, high-pressured, hierarchical, production-oriented, competitive environment.
Most interestingly, it mentions that I would make a very good art dealer, coach and political aide (apart from the obvious investment banker and venture capitalist ofcourse:)) am looking forward to seeing how the next extended stint as a business analyst goes....
someone remind me about this post 10 years down the line...would make for an interesting read.

eh, just took that test, and I came out as Interest Colour Green,
and Usual Style Green:
"People with green styles perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is outgoing. They prefer to work where things get done with minimal analysis and where persuasion is well received by others. People with green styles tend to be spontaneous, talkative, personal, enthusiastic, convincing, risk-taking, and competitive, and usually thrive in a team-oriented, adventurous, informal, innovative, big picture-oriented, varied environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results."
Ah-ha. :-)

Looks like all interest colors are green... But of course I got my own style color... YELLOW!
People with yellow styles perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is orderly and planned to meet a known schedule. They prefer to work where things get done with a minimum of interpretation and unexpected change. People with a yellow style tend to be orderly, cautious, structured, loyal, systematic, solitary, methodical, and organized, and usually thrive in a research-oriented, predictable, established, controlled, measurable, orderly environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.
Tell me, is this really me? :-)
