If you could be so kind as to take the above test and report back with your results, that would be great.

Please follow up with:

Test Results:
Degree field(s) (elec, mech, chem, nuc, etc.):
PE exam(s) (civil, elec, nuc, etc.):
Current work type (technical, leadership, none, etc.):

So for me:

Test Results: INTP
Degree field(s) : BS Electrical Engineering
PE exam(s): Electrical: Power
Current work type: Technical, Electrical

If you've already given me your results, you don't have to post again unless you want to. It might be a good idea though, just in case I decide to skip town.

 
Last I checked:
