## Disclaimer

 The A.C.E quiz contains about as much scientific backing as an astrologer's crystal collection. This means it may not read your mind 100% correctly, nor will it guarantee you a job.

 However, if you do discover a role you like, we urge you to pursue a career in the advertising industry. As you can see, it's pretty fun. If you are reading this and you already have a job in advertising, please bugger off. This quiz isn't for you and you should probably get back to work.
