About This Quiz

The job of a doctor is more than just diagnosing or treating patients. Even though sharp intelligence and creative problem-solving skills play a role, this profession is really about the interaction between various patients and medical staff. So if you want to become a doctor in the near future, you'll need to be a naturally caring and empathetic person. After all, medical issues are quite scary and sensitive to patients, and a great doctor will always do their best to make everyone feel safe and comfortable. This is also known as having interpersonal skills, which includes working well in a team, being a leader during difficult times, and having a great deal of patience. So if some of these aspects resonate with you, then you'll probably become a great doctor one day!
