Career Change: Web Design and "Problem Solving"

[BGabes]

Hi, I'm contemplating starting a second career as a web designer and recently met with a career counsellor who brought up the topic of something called "Classification Ability," which appears to be a synonym for Problem Solving Ability. Specifically, she said that it is "the ability to see relationships between seemingly unrelated events, situations, or information." Supposedly if you score high in this ability it means "you have a need for figuring things out, for solving problems...and you will likely find yourself bored when your high classification ability is no longer being used." Conversely, "People who score low on classification ability settle down and start to enjoy the job when they have learned and mastered the new routine...this, in fact, is what most jobs require."

Sorry, that's a mouthful but could any current (especially long-time) web designers comment as to the level of problem solving that web design entails...ie, who would be more succesful and more content in web design, someone who has high or low "classification ability?"
