.... rewarding. This is due to the nature of the job an investment banker must perform. A career as an investment banker has its pros and cons just as any career does, but if you're looking for a high-demanding, high-risk career that at times is very rewarding financially, investment banking could be the career.

.... I know, I know. They tell us all the time on TV that sports events would be minimized, or even non-existing without commercials, but there is a limit to everything. And the limit to this has been reached. Every time tou want to have a good relaxing football match in front of the TV you see COCA-COLA and IBM and all other known brands all over the TV so that it is hard to see the atheletes because of all the billboards.

.... taking the test was that I was not always sure whether to answer the questions as to how I am, or as to how I want to be. I think that at times I used each method, so my answers might not be 100% accurate. I do think for the most part that I answered the questions very straightforward. I scored a 41 on the extraversion which is my strongest point by far. My next highest score was 23, and that was on judging. My lowest score was 9 on the intuition, which goes back to me not knowing how to answer the questions with regard to intuition.
