The cutesy answer subscripts are really lame. I really did not want to complete the survey after the first question.


I also disliked them and thought they were mainly inaccurate reflections of the preceding question. Being logical is not the same as being a math whiz. Being analytical is completely different to being a grammar and vocabulary pedant.Being willing to work in a competitive field is not the same as having a personally competitive personality.


I agree. I also thought they could have done with more clearly explaining 'social impact'. Not really sure what that means.


That's a good point. We do that elsewhere in the career guide, but I might add it to the intro text.

Thanks, that's useful feedback.


I liked them. Different strokes eh!
