In addition to Myers Briggs, I have found StrengthsFinder [1] to be very helpful. I am dyslexic and ADD. Also ENTJ. I would love to be a specialist but all my life I have found out I am better as being a generalist with some lite specialist skills.
At 62 years old now, being a generalist that manages a few developers and coaching a scrum team is a perfect fit. I do get to write code but by HN standards, my code is pretty simple. It does work and most of it runs 24x7 without failure.
