Best career for my specific traits?

Not so good at quantitative logic like what's found in upper-level math courses: number theory, combinatorics, real analysis, etc..., but extremely fast at processing math like arithmetic and the stuff found in calculus so basically pattern matching. Beat kids who've won math olympiads but fall flat on my face on anything more complex

Bad verbal fluency, but very good at verbal reasoning. Naturally more of an introvert, so don't see a long term career in IB

I often feel like I should have done something more intellectual, but when I'm actually in a room with quantitative geniuses I don't find myself up to par

Anyone know of any areas where I can utilize my strengths?
