Can you recommend a comprehensive aptitude online test? Quiz that figures out our interests and shows us job opportunities in areas of our interest. I've taken many of these tests in papers and online and one of the careers which I finally opted for was EE. Now I don't feel like a good EE at all. I'm losing confidence in myself.

No, I don't like to solve problems. When the maths becomes partial differential equations, or some series, it's too abstract and takes too long for me to solve. I could take one day to one week to solve an engineering course problem in the past. I think the good EE is expected to do it within the hour. I guess a good EE must be a Mensa member.

I don't like to do things where I don't receive feedback about my work. Such as I don't know how long I'll take to solve my engineering problem because I don't know whether I'm correctly working towards the answer. I don't like to feel lost, like I didn't know what the right answer was, and how to derive it. I don't like that I was expected to be independent in Uni, because how independent was I expected to be? If I had to figure out myself how solve my textbook problems, then I might as well not go to Uni, might as well have taken a distance learning degree course.

I'm really an unskilled EE. I'm trying to improve my skills by learning my course on my own time, all over again. But I still feel lost, just like in the past.
