During World War II, a psychology personality analysis test was created called the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. The purpose was to get an accurate insight on how to place men and women in jobs that had been vacated by those joining the army. The test was based on a few questions that provided answers to the candidates which helped them choose a job most suited for them. Till today there are several companies who still resort to the Myers Briggs test when looking for placements in vacancies. Here is a shorter version of the Myers Briggs type indicator which will reveal your job personality type in relation to what field of work will suit you most.
