Enterprising
Your results suggest that Enterprising type work might suit your interests and preferences.
Enterprising types like persuading and influencing people as well as controlling, managing and selling to them. They like to take a lead and are often quite motivated and ambitious but may be impatient and can find rules and detail frustrating. They tend to favour roles such as salesperson, manager, estate agent, supervisor, lawyer, advertising or marketing executive and often like positions that have status and prestige.
Then there was social and artistic, but not conventional or realistic. Sounds like me.

Apparently, I am artistic and investigative.
I don't have an artistic bone in my body! And I'm pretty sure I have no hidden desires to be computer programmer OR laboratory worker (as much as my mother would love the latter). Reading the description, these two seem to be pretty much opposites.
Oh, I do love to be odd
