Me? Future radiologist?

I did a medical specialty aptitude test 2 days ago from this URL http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/specialties/. I was quite surprised with the result. Totally unbelievable!!! According to this test, radiology, preventive medicine, pathology adn nuclear medicine were the most suitable medical specialties for me. Hmm..until now, I still had problem reading chest plain radiograph, CT etc. I never understood pathology since phase 1. Well, totally had no idea why preventive medicine and nuclear medicine were one of the top 4. Haha...seemed like my potential was not yet fully establised. I loved orthopaedics, surgery and delivered babies. These 3 specialties were at top 10. However, what was true that dermatology and opthalmology were not my cup of tea. I always screwed up with internal medicine. And the ranking all these 3 specialties were almost the bottom.
