Astronaut. Later in highschool the assessments said I should be a Helicopter Pilot.

lol, that's oddly specific. What qualities make someone a good helicopter pilot instead of a plane pilot?

A blatant disregard for the rules of nature.

I would think both need 3d spatial awareness and ability to visualize maps etc. So I'm not sure why It selected Helicopter pilot.

I do have very good seat of the pants awareness which is great for driving, or cycling on snow and ice etc. Or feeling minute vibrations in the car controls that signal what parts are wornout.

But there's no way the testing could have captured Proprioception and kinesthesia levels. Unless it was built into the questions, somehow asking about clumsy vs agility?
