Dear Zainab, I appreciate your openness in sharing your thoughts, your project, and your question. It's commendable that you have a clear vision of what you want to pursue professionally, which is something not everyone possesses.
You mentioned a personality test that suggested you might be well-suited for engineering studies. It's important to note that there are countless personality tests out there, each with different methods of interpretation.
Moreover, such tests capture a snapshot of your personality at a specific point in time and do not necessarily predict your lifelong tendencies or interests.
I would encourage you to stay focused on your goal of becoming a doctor and studying medicine, especially since you're driven by motivation. It's always advantageous to pursue a field that genuinely interests you.
Remember the saying, "Where there is will, there is a way."
I wish you the best of luck in your medical studies.

Zainab,
I agree with Catherine! A good personality test isn't going to be that specific. I remember taking one that said my strength was in the "Investigative" sector, and it gave examples like Attorney, investigative reporter, Medical Examiner. I liked that it referenced fields outside my regular interests -things I had not previously considered.
What tests are you not passing? Have you reviewed your study techniques? Perhaps use a tutor, or look for on-line tutorials. For example, if you are having trouble with anatomy, and there is a comical cartoon that is scientifically accurate, it could help to reinforce the dry textbook and lecture. If you want it, find a way to make it happen!
An alternative would be to stay in the healthcare industry, but shift to a different career. Dental hygienist, radiologist (or tech), veterinarian, pathologist, nurse, Physician's Assistant, and many others. There's no shame in saying hey, this wasn't for me. You deserve a job where you can be happy, and, one where you can excel!
