How did you do?

• Mostly a’s
  You’re destined to achieve great things. And play golf. And have your socks arranged carefully in colour order in your wardrobe.
  Ideal job: Tax inspector.

• Mostly b’s
  You’re practical, resourceful and normal (well, as normal as anyone can be who wants to work in agriculture!)
  Ideal job: Farmer.

• Mostly c’s
  Routine is a problem. Work is a problem. Drink is a problem.
  Ideal job: Tramp.
