Career profile

So I'm trying to decide what direction my life will take henceforth, so I googled "Best career choices for an INFP", because according to Myers briggs my personality is INFP. I came across this site that basically laid out who I am better than anyone who knows me can. I'm going to cut and past it here:

Your career will be more important to you “just a job”, you will need to be doing something meaningful that suits your strong value systems. The INFP will be most happy in a career that has a direct or indirect goal of achieving something positive for all of humanity. You are highly focused on making the world a better place, and also for attaining the meaning of life. As an idealist and perfectionist you work hard on your quest for achieving the goals you have set yourself.

You are intuitive about people and also rely on your intuitions to guide you through life and search for value and meaning.

You hate conflict and take lengths to avoid it. If it must be faced, it is approached with the perspectives of other’s feelings in mind. Thus you don’t really care who is right or wrong, but only how the conflict makes you feel. Other’s may see this as irrational behaviour during conflict situations. On the other hand, as an INFP you can make a very good mediator, and good at solving other’s conflicts because you intuitively understand each person’s feelings and perspectives and truly wish to help them.

You are easy going and flexible until someone breaks you of your values, to which you can aggressively defend, and fight for a just cause. Because of your high standards you can be hard on yourself, and even others in group or team situations because your ideals are higher. This can create problem of control, which may need to be a addressed in order to live in balance.

Haha, this makes me laugh-I always said I didn't want to be put in a box, but this sums me up pretty well.
