Comment:
The bulk of this book lists blue-collar tradesmen jobs like plumber, boilermaker, repairman, bus driver etc. Also the supposed best introverted jobs are things like computer engineering, software engineer and accounting. There are a few scientific research jobs in the book.
The funniest jobs listed were fashion designer and interior designer, which are entirely teamwork based and extroverted (if you want to be successful at it anyway). I worked in those industries and it was a complete nightmare for an introvert. Constant networking with new clients, meeting with manufacturers daily, dealing with angry & snotty retailers etc. If you were going the design route, I'd recommend jewelrymaking since there's less interaction.
Also, lawyer was pretty laughable being on this list. Maybe if you did wills & trusts or adoption law you'd not have any confrontation at work and be alone most of the day.
I doubt these "Best Jobs" lists have any valid scientific reasoning to them.
