    A buddy of mine was asking me what the name of the test is that you take in college if you have no idea what you want to do for a career. If my memory serves me right it was some sort of personality test. I appreciate the help. :D :D :D

    You mean "Aptitude" Test?

    Nah...it was a test that asked random questions like "do you enjoy investigating new ideas?" and things like that. It had a specific name and I remember taking it during freshman studies 10 years ago, but my buddy asked me what the name of it is, and I can't remember it for the life of me.

    the MBTI
    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
    http://www.personalitypathways.com/type_inventory.html

    and is used by this book
    http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0316880655/qid=1124687188/sr=1-9/ref=sr_1_9/002-2407733-7716861?v=glance&s=books

    tell your freind to go sit in Barnes & Noble, have a cup of coffee and read the book.

    It's pretty interesting. I liked the book a lot.

    or maybe

    The MMPI
    (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2™)
    http://www.pearsonassessments.com/tests/mmpi_2.htm

    But I do wish I could afford to take a real MBTI and MMPI and have a professional evalute them.
