After taking the quiz on page 31, I found out a few interesting things.
One thing is that I do not think I would make a very good reporter. After adding up my score, I ended up with a score of 19. In the text, it says if you score under 20 points then "... there's a strong possibility you won't be happy working in a newsroom." My goal is not to become a reporter so I am fine with that, but I thought i might have scored a little bit higher.
Another thing is that looking back at what I marked, I noticed that most of the big questions worth 3 points I checked the opposite, scoring no points. I feel that since they were so many points that they were important in becoming a reporter.
I could have swayed a little bit in order to gain one more point and have the outcome say, "reporting if a good fit for you" but I wanted to see what I truly would have gotten and that is what I stuck with.
I do like to write and being creative, which I checked off and got points for and I also feel that I am organized in my own way. I do think that when it comes to grammar and spelling I do fairly well at it, but I do not think I will be heading to a newsroom anytime soon.
That's OK. It's not for everyone. But good writing skills can be an asset in many careers. 15/15
