Survey Says...

I decided to try the Medical Aptitude Specialty Test a few months back for fun and recently found the results in my email. It asks you questions about your personality and then tells you what specialty would be the best fit for you. The highest scoring and most compatible specialties to my personality are closest to 50. This is what it came up with:

Rank Specialty Score
1 pediatrics 48
2 ophthalmology 47
3 urology 45
4 plastic surgery 44
5 physical med & rehabilitation 44
6 general internal med 44
7 family practice 44
8 anesthesiology 44
9 radiation oncology 43
10 allergy & immunology 42
11 nuclear med 42
12 neurology 42
13 neurosurgery 42
14 nephrology 42
15 general surgery 42
16 occupational med 42
17 obstetrics/gynecology 41
18 hematology 41
19 rheumatology 41
20 dermatology 41
21 endocrinology 40
22 med oncology 40
23 aerospace med 40
24 psychiatry 39
25 pathology 39
26 otolaryngology 39
27 gastroenterology 39
28 emergency med 39
29 colon & rectal surgery 39
30 infectious disease 37
31 pulmonology 37
32 orthopaedic surgery 37
33 radiology 37
34 thoracic surgery 37
35 preventive med 36
36 cardiology 34

Sooo....I am not quite sure what to make of this seeing as some of my favs so far are at the bottom (i.e. derm, oto, endo, and pulm). I don't even know what nuclear med and aerospace med are, but they beat out a bunch of my favs... :sigh:

It will be fun to go back to this after I match and see how accurate it was :-)
