This is somewhat similar to something I have been working on at, but which is focussed more on finding the right "next move" within the technology industry. Essentially you rank your skills based around enjoyment and experience and it tells you what types of roles might be of interest to you. https://www.msgooroo.com/career/skills-editor
Practical thinker - engineer/technologist ;)
Distinct from many (most?) readers on HN.
Your results show you are a problem solving thinker This means you like work where your main focus is on dealing with problems that you need to think about and find solutions for. You might enjoy being a computer programmer or a mathematician.
When I finished the last question it just sent me back to the homepage.
This means you like interacting with other people, especially when it is in a professional work setting like in a company.
Been a coder, and now run a startup and look to have a BizDev guy join me so that I can focus more on the startup.
and yes I do like Biz interactions and talking to folks and poring over data bore me while I like to solve problems.
Fairly correct.
"This means you like hands-on work that is focused on dealing with other people and helping them out. On the job, you probably want to combine being social with being productive."
I could agree with this. I really enjoy helping new people out with programming problems in the office.
"You might like being a occupational therapist or an athletic trainer."
This doesn't feel right :(
Not really into the medical profession at all. Been a webdev since the late 90's. Learned and re-learned several times over. Never really shined, just got shit done. Lost the love many years ago but still love the tech and problem solving. Been looking for some kind of horizontal career move but am currently stumped.
I am not the kind of person that wants a start up but I think it would be great to help someone achieve something important and amazing (i.e. working for Elon Musk is way more attractive to me than being Elon Musk). I'd take a pay cut for that feeling again. To have the sense that my work has meaning.
