I have been reading What Color Is Your Parachute (for obvious reasons) and thought perhaps I'd share my progress as I go along. I'm not far into the book (and am not starting at the beginning) but while I have some free time at my temp job, thought I'd delve into the personality quizzes that can be found online to start figuring out my job-hopes a little better.
This color quiz was the first I came across and it is so frighteningly accurate in describing my personal life right now, I had to share. I remember taking one a few months ago... maybe almost a year ago at this point. And THAT one was eerily accurate too. Anyway, it's the simplest quiz ever and you might see some surprising insight:
