Interesting results. Glad to see Emergency Medicine up there in the top five
That, combined with how much I love working as an EMT, shows an inkling of me being on the right track. Surprising to see how adverse I am to cardiology!
Take the test yourself here.
Or, save yourself the time of taking the Aptitude Test by referring to this handy flow-chart. It lands me solidly in Emergency Medicine

I would have put you in emergency medicine over anything else. I follow a blog who is finishing her residency this year in emergency medicine; very interesting
I do medical transcription; my not favorite is ophthalmology
I don’t see you in gynecology/obstetrics or pediatrics
I loved cardiology, LOL; most of my in house experience was with them and cardiovascular surgery
hematology/oncology is a sad field
I’m sure you will pick the one that works for you when you are ready to pursue it
