* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': One episode featured the Career Aptitude Normalizing Test ([[FunWithAcronyms CAN'T]]). The results had Bart, after getting "police officer" on his test, becoming [[YellowSashOfPower a hall monitor]] and ally of Principal Skinner. Lisa, on the other hand, got "homemaker" and was told she'd never be a musician due to stubby fingers, resulting in her becoming a delinquent. StatusQuoIsGod hits when Lisa performs an expulsion-worthy offense (stealing all the teachers' guides) and Bart [[TakingTheBullet takes the bullet]] for her, with Skinner toning down the punishment in light of his recent service.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}},'' artsy [[CoolLoser Jane]] is apparently perfectly suited to be an accountant...because she just answers "c" to every question to get the test over with. [[TheSnarkKnight Daria]]'s says that she should be a mortician, due to her low desire to work with (living) people; [[LovableLibby Quinn]] a neck model, which she's happy about; and [[DumbJock Kevin]] a gas station attendant, which leads to him actually trying to apply himself and get a good job.

* Variation in ''Film/DemolitionMan''. CowboyCop John Spartan is imprisoned as a HumanPopsicle, where his rehabilitation is helped along by having him subliminally taught a skill for which he is genetically predisposed to help him relax and (hopefully) be less violent upon release. His skill, he discovers with some consternation, is knitting. Interestingly, this seems to work out pretty well.
* In ''Film/SkyHigh2005'', they don't even give you a test - whether you get on the fast track of being a hero or getting bogged down in loser classes for sidekicks depends on how well you can impress the heavily biased coach with a single demonstration of your powers.

* The villain Him makes WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls take their [=SATs=] as one of the challenges he poses in "Him Diddle Riddle." Buttercup scores a 25, Blossom scores a 10 (much to her sheer anger), and Bubbles--whose test sheet was a pattern of a flower--scored a 1075. (Amy Rogers, the show's head writer, would sneak in info online prior to the episode's airing that Bubbles was the smartest of the three.)

* The Scoobies of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' went through a career day that placed Xander as a prison guard. Played straight and subverted when neither Oz (whose BrilliantButLazy) nor Willow (who's a straight-A student) ever got a result back because a very prestigious software firm was scouting them. Also subverted in that Buffy gets the surprisingly accurate result of law enforcement...and double-subverted when she is horrified by it, if only because of the bad fashion of the uniform.
