A lot of pop-psychology doesn't hold up when subject to empirical review, but OCEAN / "Big 5" does, and it's probably a decent starting point.

E.g. if you are low in extraversion and agreeableness, you probably wouldn't make a good nurse or waiter, but you might not make a bad lawyer or engineer.

> low in extraversion and agreeableness

I don’t know that these are awesome features for an engineer. There’s a big unsaid cost to this in my experience
