friends, i need to know what you think. by how you know me, where do you think i should be? i took the test for some enlightenment, i got the results feeling even more confused than before. i know this shouldn't be the sole basis of how i should choose a specialty, and it isn't; but i don't want to be just mediocre in one thing i want when i could be successful in something else that i also like (did you just get that?).

the items in bold are those which i can actually see myself in. the italicized items are those i wouldn't even consider.
