So, I took the Medical Specialty Aptitude Test, sort of a social test that asks you questions based on what kind of person you are to gauge what field of medicine you would want to go into. Here’s a link to the test…

Anway, my scores/rankings came out below. I don’t know how accurate this is, but radiology was one of my top interests before I even knew about this test. So, below you will see a number, then a specialty/field, then a number. The first number is just ordering the specialties from most compatible to least compatible, and the end number is the “score”, based on my answers, that it gave me. I don’t know if it is out of 50 or 100. If it is 50, then these results might be worth something; if it is 100, then these results are too vague to matter anyway.
