If you're still in the beginning of college, you have time to get your general education courses done, and from there you can get a feel for what you are passionate about. Those tests from your counselor (or try searching online) are helpful as well.

I hope I can keep you attention long enough to answer the question. You don't tell us anything about yourself. Like, what grade are you in? I assume you are a college student. If you are in your first year, you will be taking a lot of general studies courses that will give you exposure to lots of choices. If you are in your 3rd year or so and haven't found a major, you should talk to someone in the guidance office at your school. Tests that you might take are typically pretty easy to manipulate. So, you have to really honest with your answers, but if you were capable of that I think you'd be able to pick out a major on your own.

Maybe you shouldn't even have a major. Not everybody is suited for college. Have you ever fancied a career in the fast food industry?

Think about it.

It's better to go into an area where you're good at and like. If you don't have any, then consider the health science fields because it will give you a stable career and good paying job.
You can ask your innerself for guidance. Before you go to sleep lying on the bed, clear your mind of other thoughts and ask your innerself which major should you go into. Keep repeating the question over and over again. First thing in the morning when you wake up, be aware of the first thing that came to mind. Use your intuition and listen to your inner voice. The answer lies within you.

Most schools have guidance counselors (or their equivalent). Just talk with your advisor. If you don't know who your advisor is, talk with an instructor you trust, and they can probably help steer you in the right direction. There are also aptitude tests that one can take to help with choosing a major. If it's any consolation, I switched majors several times before finally sticking with one and graduating with honors.

Your guidance counselor should have a wide variety of aptitude tests that you can take...usually they will have a hundred or more question sort of like..."I enjoy speaking to groups...true or false" or "I have always wanted to pilot a plane...true or false" or "I enjoy math problems...true or false". They are pretty accurate and your results will usually pull up five or more prime career fields that you would fit well into. Go check it out when you have a couple hours of free time.

If you are a freshman, chill out-you have two years to figure it out. If you are a sophmore, why don't you go into jewelry design or become a diamond cutter.

There should be some classes at your university, aptitude tests that you can take. Ask your counselor.
