Grateful (a blah blah blah post)

I don't know why (sometimes I wonder if I'm actually bipolar II), but I felt good today. I did some dishes, made dinner, and cleaned half the stove! For some reason, I'm thinking of going back to college, too. I guess possibility is inspiring.

Recently, I took two personality assessments. The Ipip-Neo, and a holland career quiz thingy by Truity. The Ipip-Neo is a professional test to measure neuroticism. I got the HIGHEST SCORE POSSIBLE (99, and then almost perfect 99s in every subcategory)! That was *shocking* to me. I thought I'd get average, tops.

Then, the holland career test. The highest score was "Thinker" type, with "Helper" and "Creator" also high. The others ("Builder", "Organizer", and "Persuader") were scored as low.

Well...the only things of interest that matched my categories were psychologist, sociologist, social worker, and epidemiologist. Interestingly, EMT, Surgical Technician, and Massage Therapist include "Builder" (along with at least one category I scored high in), and funeral service worker included "Organizer" AND "Persuader". It makes me wonder if I haven't had success because I've been chasing jobs that aren't cut out for me. Not to mention "Helper" jobs are iffy with my social phobia - they like to help people.

I know I've considered it before, but I think I'd LOVE to be an epidemiologist. And social work is awesome.

Ugh! I don't know!!! But I'm excited for possibility again. I'm ready to try again.
