If you don’t know what type you “are” just look up Myers Briggs test.
(Disclaimer: this stuff’s basically pseudoscience, but it is interesting to think about who might have though kind of like you)
They are categories of people’s personality tendencies. Yes it is essentialist, but most psychology is these days. I like that Meyers-Briggs doesn’t pathologise differences in people’s minds though.

Reading this article it made me realize how difficult it would be to control for this experiment because they’d have to control for how shitty various workplace environments can be.
The best way to do this kind of experiment in various workplaces is to sieze the means of production in order to flatten the differences of shittyness between workplaces. Then collect the data from people of various industries, Job satisfaction, industry, particular job title, Meyers-Briggs personality type. To further control for the shittyness between industries we should also extract the median satisfaction rate of each industry.
We can run statistics on what personality types are common in particular industries, and to what extent a particular personality type is satisfied relative to the median of the industry with particular industries or job titles.
Sorry if this is off topic.
