Not to be a turd in the punch bowl, but as a skeptic, I question the scientific objectivity of a test like this.

First off, I think it's human nature to answer towards how you'd LIKE to think of yourself, rather than what you really are.  And when dealing with your job, you probably answer with the best decision, ideally, for said career, but not necessarily a decision you would actually make. 

For example (this wasn't on the test, but it just illustrates a general point), if a question were to ask if you're a leader or a follower, I bet you'd have a lot more people say that they were leaders than actually are.  A follower has a negative connotation, and I bet it's hard to recognize in yourself.

Perhaps this test would be more effective, if others that knew you took it on your behalf, without bias.

Stop being a turd.

This quiz didn't have any questions that I noticed that implied negativity.  I think its pretty damn accurate.

Thats why I stopped about half-way through.  I just imagined it would be another one of those "IQ" tests that tell you what you want to hear, then try to get you to buy a more "in depth" test for like 40 bucks.  Its funny how people really do think their IQ's top the 130's based on the internet...

Not to be a turd or anything....
