[quietdynamics]

Thought some of our "easy chair" medical experts would like to see what type of medical specialty their personality is suited for?

 Actually, although I worked in the medical field---I am a disabled (and thus retired) nurse---I expected the results to read:  "And you seriously want to be a doctor?!?"    I did love being an RN---but my scores on this test are overall low at this point in my life---didn't quite make it to a score of 40 on any specialty.  The top results were: rheumatology, hematology and nuclear medicine.

4 emergency med 46
5 ophthalmology 46
6 neurology 46
7 nuclear med 45

[Sooki]

No surgery for me!

top4:

hematology
dermatology
allergy & immunology
rheumatology

I think it was solving complex problems and comfortable with unknowns that got me there...

[Velcro]

I think it was because I answered that I didn't like the people part that got me "behind the scenes" and away from patients! Lol

1. obs/gyny   42
2. rheumatology 42
3. hematology 42

This is all so interesting to see what everyone's scores are.

Between us all thus far, if we only had the degrees respectively and the licensures, we basically have many of the specialties we need "covered" between us. Not all, but many of them.

Ah but then there is the distance factor

Sorry it is only a personality aptitude test.

So these are the personality traits you have in common, high probability of type of Doctor you "may" get along with ...I guess. Nothing is black and white.

But, if you are at a party....these would be the folks you might get along with..

* But, I did find it interesting how many could not follow the direction.
Top Three     Was it is the exuberance of discovery?   

[Velcro]

Nope.  I'm just an overachiever and don't like being told what to do
