I very often encourage people to do exactly that—find out what their unique personal strengths and talents are optimize for a job that uses their strengths. It’s better to find a job that uses your talents in a cause area that you only like than to find a job that doesn’t utilize your skills in a cause area that you love. The latter tends to lead to burnout, failure and frustration, while the former helps you be happy, productive, successful and impactful. I personally use the Gallup Strengthsfinder to assess talent.
