From Emode's Career Makeover
You're an Architect
For you, the world is like one giant puzzle, just waiting to be solved. In your undying quest for the truth, you're best at finding solutions to complex problems. Lucky for all of us, though, you love to share your brilliant thoughts. Your keen analytical skills and understanding of others makes you a vital player in the think tank. You thrive on the collaborative problem-solving process, could trouble shoot for NASA, and won't rest until the questions are answered. The world could use a few more divas like you.
Who's like you: Madeline Albright (former U.S. Secretary of State)
Similar likely careers: Psychologist, lawyer, market researcher, military strategist, PR strategist
Further Details
Your Motivation Style: 6
You're Balanced. You know how to juggle your personal and professional life, without getting too caught in the middle. You're not married to your job, and your family and friends probably appreciate that fact. You put your best effort into succeeding at work without letting it take over your life.
Your Conflict Style: 5
You're a Negotiator. You can look a conflict square in the eyes without getting overly dramatic. You strike a nice balance between keeping the peace and making sure that problems are dealt with. Your ability to see all sides to a problem means that you can be really helpful in easing political scuffles. You don't make a point of always being right, but you stand up for what you believe.
Your Leadership Style: 7
You're a Catalyst. You strike a balance between innovation and cautious skepticism. You know that perception is reality in the workplace, so new ideas are only successful if embraced by people who are trusted and liked. While open to change and trying new ideas in the workplace, you don't blindly go forward without careful consideration of the consequences.

me! me!
You are the classic image of the artist. It's both a privilege and a curse to be driven by the overpowering urge to create at all costs. You view your life as an opportunity to give expression and form to your vivid imagination. As a talented creative force, you have an emotional disposition. You're driven by passion, sometimes at the expense of reason. But what do you care? You're an artist—it's practically a license to be irrational, which doesn't bother you, because you're more of an independent spirit. And because you're comfortable standing in the spotlight alone, you won't have to put up with any bellyaching from hangers-on, starlet wannabes, or pushy agents. It's just you and your adoring fans—nice work if you can get it.
Your Motivation Rating: 4
Face it, you're a Slacker. Work is a necessary evil, so you're often counting the minutes between coffee breaks. As for advancing up the company ladder, you'd prefer to take the escalator. You don't let your personality get caught up in your career success. Maybe you get the job done, but you don't go out of your way to prove your merit.
Your Conflict Style Rating: 6
You're a Negotiator.
(I disagree with my leadership rating. But man- the rest? Pretty accurate! Yeah internet!)
Re: me! me!
I didn't find my results to be spectacularly insightful, but I didn't find them to be particularly incorrect either.
