Should you become a Surgeon?

Note: this quiz should not dictate whether you will become a surgeon in future years.

Start

You need to work in a group for a project at school/work. Do you:

Celebrate because you love group work for some reason

Smile slightly when you see one or two of your friend's name on the list

Go home, sit on your bed, and stare at the wall whilst feeling sorry for yourself

Look forward to bossing people around

Go about your life, neutral about working with others. What has to be done has to be done.

Very well; almost too well

I wouldn't, but I'd be able to hide it

3 / 8

How much do you like learning and understanding new things regularly/challenging yourself?

To the point where I feel empty without it

Not really; I like to take it slow

I just enjoy anything that makes me think

New things intrigue me but thinking takes some effort

I don't mind it, but I wouldn't do it on purpose either

Most importantly, do you want to become a surgeon?

It's my dream, my goal in life

It would be nice...

No thank you

8 / 8

You are perfect for the job!

Not only do you enjoy the challenge of learning, but you also have the teamwork skills to do it with others! You are reasonably logical and organised, and are able to make quick and efficient decisions. You are also adaptable and have a lot of mental strength; remember, you could also become a medical lecturer or medical researcher with your degree!

Maybe next time...

Okay so maybe you aren't the best fit for a surgeon at first glance, but there are still many options out there! Try and build more confidence in your people skills, problem solving, organisation, and coordination and come back soon!

You could do it if you wanted to

Honestly it's up to you! You could be a good surgeon if you tried, but then again you could something else as well. Choose wisely! Remember, you could also become a medical lecturer or medical researcher with your degree!

Hmmm I guess?

You're kind of uncertain; on one hand you don't immediately stand out to be amazingly surgeon-fit, but then again who knows? Right now you are the awkward position on the line; on which you cross onto depends on you and your flexibility and adaptability. Remember, you could also become a medical lecturer or medical researcher with your degree!
