QuoteThe Engineering Personality Quiz

You relate easily to people and can be very convincing.  You know what people need to make their lives better.  You can be warm and generous, and when things are going well for you you tell everyone and can't help but share the laughter.

You might make a good: Environmental Engineer

Environmental engineers apply engineering principles to the improvement and protection of the environment.  They help protect ecosystems,  water resources, people and animals, from the effects of industry.  They make sure we consider things like temperature changes, chemicals, fires or landscape changes in our technology projects.

Is that the one they give to girls who take this quiz?

When I started my undergraduate degree environmental engineering was part of civil engineering at my alma mater.  So many students were focusing in that area that the university broke it off and made it a separate department.  This was the age of Captain Planet.  A lot of students went into the field thinking they would save the environment only to discover that the bulk of the jobs in the field were in sewage treatment.  Thank you Ted Turner!
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Computer engineer, 53%.  Considering I got fed up with our computer systems' (lack of) financial accounting abilities at work and programmed better versions into my graphing calculator that I use instead, it sounds about right.
