How about this: sit down and write everything you were good at in school and everything you have been and are good at today...whether it's professional or not. It can be as simple as "I'm a good listener" or "I'm good with people" or "I'm organized". Make your list as long as you want. Ask your friends and family to describe you. Make a note of the words most often used to describe you. Add things that you do that you enjoy doing.
Take a few days.
Now go online and find jobs careers/jobs that require the skills and traits you excel at.
Let me know if you need more guidance.

Now, the test said one should answer the questions based on what they would feel most comfortable doing, ignoring money and status (the Enterprising type - which I scored dead last - is the one most fitted for pursuits most likely to get one money and power). But the thing is, I *do* care about money and status. So I asked the people in charge about what their advice is. Here is the response:
“Hi, anyone can do jobs that do not fit their personality, they just will perform worse and it will be more tiring, even exhausting… it’s like marrying someone you do not love, possible, but not something I would recommend. The alternative is to seek status / money through other ways, ….”
1. Is this true? If I become, for example, an entrepreneur of some sort, will I be miserable?
2. What other ways?
Am I doomed to either spend my life either doing something that doesn’t fit my personality or not getting anywhere near the money and power I desire, remaining the insignificant worm that I am?
Thank you in advance for any answers.
