 Lots of fun if you like spotting mistakes April 2, 2003

With this being a Times publication you'd probably expect this to be really professional wouldn't you? Well it's most certainly not! I found this item at my local library and as I was concerned about my future career and my job potential I thought this might help. Well if I wanted to be a proof reader it gave me some practice as there were a few silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes and on one multiple choice question the correct answer wasn't even an option! It didn't help me find anything about what careers I should do just threw out a few job titles of which many were science or technology related, my best subject at college is art! It doesn't have any information about these particular careers either. If you're really concerned about your career get a comprehensive book or speak to another human being don't waste your money on this item.
 Not Worth The Time Or Money November 13, 2002

The whole point I bought this was to understand how I wanted my career to progress and where my strengths and weakness's lay and for some suggested career paths which I maybe wouldn't have thought of before.
On their suggested careers based on all the tests, all I got was a few very generic suggestions purely based on the Personality Test. I had a slight leaning towards writing and so I was classified as "Arty" and got Ballerina suggested as a career!
I didn't expect miracles and it to know everything, but I did expect something a bit more scientific.
As for the Ability Tests, my confidence in it would be greatly enhanced if the answers they have to all the questions were actually correct. When you have to match 4 sets of shapes to 5 other sets of shapes to work out which one is missing, if only two of the shapes actually match, you're left pretty much guessing which one they think is the right answer. These incorrect answers were few and far between, but it dents your confidence in the whole thing.
Overall, if all you want is something which tells you whether you are arty or business orientated, it will do that, but my advice would be buy a book for this sort of thing.
