However, for social people such as yourself, being a teaching academic is probably your role. You will delve deep into the material, but not as deep as a researcher, preferring to pass along knowledge to the next one gemeratopm, making sure the love of academics is alive and well. Beyond this, this result indicates you're a highly social person, generous with your time and a terrific friend to have.

The kind who do not like to teach or write for others, but prefer to carry on their research by themselves, delving deep into the writings of others and learning for the sake of learning, not for the sake of showing off your knowledge or making money from it. You would love academics for academics, improving your inner world and inner knowledge, for that is the most important part of the world for you, the part that is inside you. You love growing and developing yourself to new height of personal growth. It's not that you don't like other people, but you need that time alone to recharge yourself and have the quiet you need to focus on what you want to learn.
You would be the kind of academic who never rests, always looking for the next big discovery. You are more likely to... READ MOREYou would be the kind of academic who never rests, always looking for the next big discovery. You are more likely to work in physical subjects and not subjects of the mind, such as physics, chemistry, biology and engineering, among others. You are always looking for the next big discovery that will change the world. There is nothing in this world you enjoy more than researching your current project and coming close to discovering innovations and inventing new procedures. What you love about academics is breaking the limits of previous human knowledge. You would never enjoy a quiet academic life, preferring to push the envelope any chance you get.

An academic whose main goal is to write and publish works of research and teachings. Your main goal is to spread your opinions and research as far and wide as possible, either for teaching regular people more about academics or assisting other academics in their own understandings. Your days would be filled with writing your books and reading articles and books by other academics so you keep your hand in and stay up-to-date. Nothing would make you happier than seeing your words appearing on paper. Beyond academics, this means there are things inside you that you'd like to share with the world, a depth of knowledge, emotion and experience that is eager to come out of you. Why not try to write in THIS life? You might really enjoy the experience, even if you don't publish it.
