That reminds me of a an aptitude/ psych profile test I had to take as a HS student. One of the questions gave 4 choices as to what we would rather do. One was be a bus driver. Another was be a lighthouse keeper. I don't remember what the other 2 were but I chose the lighthouse. I liked the idea of seeing the ocean all day and being alone. The crazy test said I showed my personality was set to be a social worker. Huh? How do you get that from a person who chooses to be a lighthouse keeper? Guess they thought I meant I wanted to save people. Actually I just wanted to be alone.

Funny, pixi! Those tests can be way wrong, a prime example. I think I would have chosen the same for the same reason. And social work is far from my desire, too.

Pixi, I took one of those ink blot tests when I was young and they all looked like animals. Have no idea what that says about me. :)

It says you have a good imagination, trynfindit. But I bet they'd come up with something dumb like being CEO of a robotics firm.

Thanks for sharing that, Coravee. I was beginning to think I was some kind of misanthrope for not seeing that differently.

I thought that being a lighthouse keeper would be a pretty great job as long as the lighthouse was on the coast - instead of some small island that was too isolated.

The French refer to a lighthouse on the coast as a "paradise" while an isolated island one is a "hell". There's quite a cute little romcom called "A Paradise for Two" (Un Paradis Pour Deux) about a fellow who wants to be a lighthouse keeper.

Thanks for that information - I could definitely see how being in a lighthouse on an isolated island would qualify. I'll have to look for that movie.
