The medical speciality test

I know its a bit too earlyto be even thinking about speciality right now. I'm just in my 4th year. But oh well, I want to know after 2 year how I would probably change. So, here goes.

Now, what I am most glad is that this test litreally confirms my resistance towards OB/GYN and PEDs.
Its a 130 questions. They're intentionally repeated... don't lie on the test. You'd really come to know about what you're probably capable of.

My results... the first 10 are the ones that I basically don't like so much except orthopedic surgery. That might be fun... after all how many women do you know are actually in ortho surgery?
