According to plum.io I'm really good at those. So in my scoping out where I could add value, I'd be really interested in roles that emphasise those soft skills over social skills, as I'm much more likely to be a good fit. I'd also be interested in any roles/careers that might fit . ( i figure form a role name, I can work out a career path/progression.
For reference I've included the whole profile.

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions asking for advice on a specific choice, such as what job to take or what skills to learn, are difficult to answer objectively and are rarely useful for anyone else. Instead of asking which decision to make, try asking how to make the decision, or for more specific details about one element of the decision. (More information)" – Dukeling, rath, GOATNine

Those are all great characteristics that are beneficial in literally every single profession. Things like work ethic, integrity, and general life skills will benefit you everywhere.
However, Plum.io is a business and they want you to buy their product. They fed you a bunch of generic, unspecified, ego-boosting character trait analysis so that you will buy their product.
Finding what career you should pursue is a lot harder than that. A good place to start is finding something you love, something you are good at, or both.

Sorry, but is this a hidden ad for the web service you mentioned?
You should apply for jobs that fit your professional education, experience and interests first and your social skills second !
So it would be great to know what your professional / educational background is.
Or are you asking us what kind of profession you should start learning as a student?
Because most of the skills you mentioned are welcome wherever you work with people in teams or directly with customers... so almost everywhere...so not really helpful to give any meaningful advice.
While sounding really good, what you wrote sounds also too generic in my opinion.

Looking through this carefully, there are two rather damning lines:
"Best suited to positions that are unlikely to have many unexpected problems or changes in how the work gets done."
"Better suited to positions where social relationships are not important, and where there is frequently space to work alone"
These two lines are not good. But they are completely contradicted by this line: "Exceptionally well suited to positions that require close collaboration, soliciting and accepting feedback and criticism, and dealing positively with obstacles and failures." Well, what is it? Alone or collaboration? No unexpected problems, or dealing positively with obstacles and failures?
Another damning one is: "Greatly prefer learning by repetition and accomplishing objectives that are well explained ahead of time."
This very much looks like one of those personality tests that are meant to make you feel good, without actually saying anything meaningful about you. And still they manage to put in some lines that you maybe found positive, but they absolutely are not.
Throw this nonsense away. Figure out what you like to do, and what you are good at. Then do it.
Oh well. I probably don't have an extraordinary ability to communicate in a tactful and considerate manner, but then you have an extraordinary ability to accept criticism and feedback, so that's fine.
And please, don't post this stuff on LinkedIn or any such site. Half of potential employers will laugh, the other half will cry.

These two lines are not good.

Well, what is it? Alone or collaboration? No unexpected problems, or dealing positively with obstacles and failures?
Another damning one is: "Greatly prefer learning by repetition and accomplishing objectives that are well explained ahead of time."
This very much looks like one of those personality tests that are meant to make you feel good, without actually saying anything meaningful about you. And still they manage to put in some lines that you maybe found positive, but they absolutely are not.
Throw this nonsense away. Figure out what you like to do, and what you are good at. Then do it.
Oh well. I probably don't have an extraordinary ability to communicate in a tactful and considerate manner, but then you have an extraordinary ability to accept criticism and feedback, so that's fine.

These two lines are not good. But they are completely contradicted by this line: "Exceptionally well suited to positions that require close collaboration, soliciting and accepting feedback and criticism, and dealing positively with obstacles and failures." Well, what is it? Alone or collaboration? No unexpected problems, or dealing positively with obstacles and failures?
Another damning one is: "Greatly prefer learning by repetition and accomplishing objectives that are well explained ahead of time."
This very much looks like one of those personality tests that are meant to make you feel good, without actually saying anything meaningful about you. And still they manage to put in some lines that you maybe found positive, but they absolutely are not.
Throw this nonsense away. Figure out what you like to do, and what you are good at. Then do it.
Oh well. I probably don't have an extraordinary ability to communicate in a tactful and considerate manner, but then you have an extraordinary ability to accept criticism and feedback, so that's fine.
And please, don't post this stuff on LinkedIn or any such site. Half of potential employers will laugh, the other half will cry.
Looking through this carefully, there are two rather damning lines:
"Best suited to positions that are unlikely to have many unexpected problems or changes in how the work gets done."
"Better suited to positions where social relationships are not important, and where there is frequently space to work alone"

Sorry, but this profile reads like the professional equivalent of a horoscope. What tangible skills (e.g. engineering, math, finance, trade skills such as electrical or carpentry, etc.) do you have? Those are what you should center any career search around instead.

Please specify your professional background and interest.These evaluations are too generic and not primarily relevant to give advice in chosing a career path.

An analysis that managed to tell you that you "Appreciate working [...] alone" and then in the very next sentence says "appreciate to collaborate and cooperate with others" is not worth the electrons it was transmitted on. This is bullshit bingo with ego-stroking adjectives, not an analysis. Just imagine your counterpart that is exactly not you. Turn this analysis around. Can you see a valid analysis to the contrary?

Just the last paragraph. I read "not capable of doing anything concrete, and focusing on the required task. Can't work in a larger team. Requires others to do the work. Can't figure out anything on his own, needs to be told what to do all the time and can't do any one-time items. In love with yourself and deluded". While this website tried to put everything into a positive light, that's the same person seen in a negative light. Maybe you should apply at plum.io for a job.
