Is there a branded drink we're supposed to consume while we go to this website?

I don't think it knows you pretty damn well. I think you just answered a series of "Do you like job X?" questions and it put to the bottom of the list the ones you said "Oh noes I don't like scary machines!" about.

This, generally, is how computers get to know you - you tell them about yourself and then they use this to produce a model of you and use that to make predictions. There are lots of jobs that other people got that I didn't - and nobody else I know was told to work in IT about 25 times...

I agree - FAR too simplistic. Have seen far, far better done ones...

Andy, you need more sleep.

Mine was pretty spot on, given I'm a communications manager for a bank with a degree in economic history, who specialises in writing copy and used to be a critic for SFX. The policitical stuff could be explained by my interest in watching the West Wing... :-)

Well, I am 12 and 35 already so not bad going. Otherwise, I'd be up for pretty much all of these. 32 is great!

Doesn't actually give you any of these jobs though. Bugger
