* the category which received my highest favourable rating is the Internal Revenue Service Accountant. because as per my understanding his job involves both intelligence & knowledge of very high level while dealing with the large number of accounts, the timely transfer of money without even a single discrepancy. They must also inhibit the emotional or sensitive factors within them.

* The category with least favourable rating is New College Pass Out Students. Because inspire of being knowledgeable and conscientious they are naive, emotional and sensitive and yet they need some time to be intelligent enough, which they become after good working experience.
