I'd be interested in what the research shows for INFPs in this regard (I'm assuming these are lists of fields where these types have found at least above average job satisfaction).

I've been thinking that somethign like Sociology or Cultural Antropology would be a good (fulfilling) area for me to pursue, but the question of what jobs I'd actualy enjoy that such training could lead to is an essential question.

I often think I'd like a job doing research and analyzing test reults and looking for correlations to find new theories/hypothesis and stuff like that, and I'd like it to be something related to human thought/feeling etc, but I'm not sure what jobs like that exist, how common they are, where they are and what training would be required.

Its quite a bit off from humanities, but I've also recently thought something in environmental science could be interesting and fulfilling as well (solar energy, wind farms etc), but I suspect thats the sort of thing I might enjoy for a few years and then grow tired of.
