Sounds boring but ---

Find a large company with a varied field of activities and a good record for training graduate + intake. Pose as 'seeking new challenge'. Let them get excited about your capabilities and find out what you are good at for you. Get trained in something you never thought of at their expense. Leave and set up a consultancy if you're on the make.

What was that PhD all about, by the way? I skilfully avoided two offers to go into industry and never regretted it, but would love to hear.

Pass that duck, I want to remove my toenails.

Well, I'm confused. I came up INTJ in the very basic choices (though apart from knowing I am an introvert all the other choices were nearly impossible), but just did that 72-question thingy to sort myself out and (after more dithering) came up ISTJ--but the personality description really doesn't fit me at well as INTJ does. (At the same time, I am a lousy strategist; never could play chess worth a damn, and when I write I have to plan my stories with charts and things so I don't forget where I'm going. Of course, I can also write with no outline at all, but then I have little idea what might happen. I seem to have a defect somewhere in my sequential memory.) Go figure.
