I work in a school and do mostly psychological testing (psychoeducational evaluations), but I also counsel students, deal with crisis situations, and consult with parents and teachers. I've struggled a lot in the past with whether the job is the "right" fit for me, but was lucky enough to find a position that focused more on what I like about the job (testing) versus the other parts I don't like as much (counseling and dealing with teachers and parents). The evaluations can be difficult at times because you're often trying reconcile several different sources of information in order to create an holistic picture of the student, but some cases can be more clear cut than others. It's a pretty analytical process and I like the problem-solving part of it--it's pretty scientific in a way because I'll often start out with a hypothesis of what's going on with a student and then either support or refute it with the data I collect.
In terms of type, I've tested anywhere from ISTP to INFP and have never really been able to pinpoint one. I know I'm definitely introverted and maybe lean more T than F. I've always struggled with the N/S and P/J divide.
