Nightmare Career

My Result: Telemarketer
Does the very though of an impromptu speech make you sweat? Avoid making calls to strangers at all costs? Then it’s no surprise that telemarketing would be your absolute career nightmare. Harassing people while they eat dinner, selling things they don’t need, and asking if they would mind "answering a couple of questions"? No, thanks. You’d rather be mute.
When it comes to the workplace, making a big scene isn’t exactly your forte. Instead, your perfect job would be the kind that taps into your introverted brilliance. You enjoy the opportunity to figure things out on your own. And while you sometimes enjoy working as a team, you really thrive when your gears are grinding, your mind is working, and it’s all done low-key. Being on stage isn’t your ultimate goal — so step away from that call center — you’ve got better things in mind!
What are you?

COMMENT: Haha. Super true.
Power Hour
My Result: Sharp at Sunset
That’s right, when the sun goes down, your energy and creativity go way up. This is your on time, when you’re most inspired thoughts come pouring in and when you’re most motivated to venture out. Are you into sports, dinner parties, or just hanging out with friends as the sun sinks out of sight? We thought so. Because that’s the time of day that really empowers you and makes you feel alert.
You’re especially dynamic at dinner, cocktail parties, and early evening functions, when your persistent wit and wisdom are at their finest. And after dinner, when everyone else is putting on their jackets and preparing to head home, you’re the kind of person who stays alert, inquisitive, and ready for more world-changing conversation.
Being such a superstar at sunset has its drawbacks too. Right when you’re coming up with your most fantastic ideas, most of the world is too tired to listen. Sure, this might leave you with a limited audience from time to time, but when you’re on, you’re on, and those lucky enough to be around value your enthusiasm. But even superstars hit a slump at some point in the day. That’s when you need to remind yourself that there are tricks to get you through. Like grabbing an extra cup of coffee, getting some fresh air, or taking a power shower to rejuvenate you. And when that happens, there’s no stopping you. Every hour can be your power hour!

Well, everything’s not quite roses and teddy bears for you, but you do tend to look on the bright side of life (we can hear those Monty Python boys whistling right now…). Sure, you sometimes bitch and moan about your problems (who doesn’t?), but deep down you’re pretty sure that everything will eventually turn out fine. When the weather man says it’s going to be sunny, you leave your umbrella at home. In general, you like to be around people, and you try to make new friends when you can. You do your best to take things at face value, rather than making mountains out of molehills. Basically, the world is sort of like a big coconut to you: tough and hairy on the outside, but, when you get down into it, there’s good stuff inside.
EMO - Not True! Haha.
My Result: a Little Bit Emo
Shop at second hand stores from time to time? Feel like no one understands you? Own a pair of Chucks? That’s just what we thought. It’s not very strong, but we can kind of see it. We’re betting you mope from time to time and you’ve been known to sigh over an ex, even if you only do it where no one can see you. Come on, just admit it — brooding can be fun.
Thank your lucky stars, because you’d never, ever wear as much makeup at Pete Wentz or listen to Taking Back Sunday all the time. Maybe you just like to pretend that you’re super-stoic, but we know that deep down you’ve got a heart of purest glass. So congrats — you’re not totally tragic. Not even close!
