Mine came out with creator as well. To be honest I'm not sure if it does quite describe me. I'm not really interested in art and drama and I don't think I'm very expressive but is suppose its only a quick test, you can't expect it to be perfect :P
I think it is important to combine the first and the second one.
Creator + Analytical here.

ORGANIZER and PERSUADER as second. I'm happy with that, but I'll work on the second one.

Creative Persuader
Better than a Cold Blooded Snake!
That was fun but it got me totally wrong.
Blue is my favourite colour but I'm definitely not a Creator, Doer.
I'd need to see what the other category descriptions are, but Persuader sounds more like me.
Thanks for the link Russ.

1) Organizer
2) Persuader
ORGANIZER? hahahahahahahahaha, I haven't laughed so hard all day. Open my closet door and laugh with me.
But CEOs shown to be more sensitive, private and emotionally unstable?
eh? This is completely counterintuitive to what I had assumed.
My thought proccess while going through this:
"This is pretty dumb, no way colour preference can really be that linked to personality... Still, it's fun."
*Submits*
"Let's see what silly result I- Researcher? Pft, stupid test, stop trying to prove me wrong!"
But then I got this for my secondary.
And really, it's not a category I'd expect to fall into.2nd Best Occupational Category

Here you discover your capacity for dispelling disruption and maximizing profitability. Use this proven, beyond-self-perception advice to create a more positive career path free of detours.

And by the way, the researcher says they hate working in groups, the social manager is all about it.

Automation is important. This is an automated disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, all advice is opinion, and I will not be held accountable for other peoples stupidity.
This is what I got. It seems fairly accurate. I bolded the words that resonate with me. Thanks for sharing!

You know, I am an Accounting major...maybe that temporarily "trained" my mind to be more organized (or better at details/memorization). Meaning a false result. :P
Interesting...
