Medical Specialty Aptitude Test

[Olm the Water King]

https://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/

I don't work in the medical field, but I thought it was a cool test. Except for the fact that the questions are repetitive...not sure what's up with that.

My top 10:

1.Psychiatry
2.Radiology
3.Allergy & Immunology
4.Endocrinology
5.Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
6.Neurology
7.Pediatrics
8.Preventive Medicine
9.Aerospace Medicine
10.Rheumatology

 

[á´…eparted]

1 urology 44
2 occupational med 43
3 pathology 43
4 nephrology 41
5 gastroenterology 41
6 endocrinology 41
7 emergency med 41
8 radiation oncology 41
9 allergy & immunology 40
10 colon & rectal surgery 40

Not in the medical field, but my field has connections to it.

Either way, none of those interest me... The one that interests me the most, psychiatry is literally the last on the list... In fact, the few that do interest me are at the bottom. Go figure. Guess it's good I am not in medicine. The only area of medicine that really legitmately interests me is psychatritry, the brain, and oncology. The latter because of my field and even then it's not that strong.

I am wondering who answered, "Strongly Disagree" for "I tend to want a good outcome."

Anyways...

9 allergy & immunology
1̶0̶ ̶ ̶e̶m̶e̶r̶g̶e̶n̶c̶y̶ ̶m̶e̶d̶

The only ones I wouldn't mind are the 8 & 9 -ologies... the rest would creep me out or I just wouldn't be interested enough to do well. Yes, skin creeps me out more than the digestive system.

Actually I wouldn't do any of these. Nope. Not even more a million dollars a year and a free back massage every day.
