After doing the first set of questions my results weren't that great. Throwing in the skills, the grades in (), and education level helped some. However at that point "10.

I must say, this is the best career test I've ever taken.

I remember there was a question on dealing with difficult people. There's also ones on dealing with kids. Those might make the difference.
