So there is no point utilize your perfect X trait when you can just use your average Y trait.

I agree to some degree. If you are fantastic for some reason at cracking your knuckles, there may be no way to market that effectively. Also the thing you are pretty good at may be a good choice for other reasons (low cost, windfall job offer etc).
However, having thought about it a lot the last couple days, I do know a lot of people who seem 'miscast' in their career roles and I've asked several people online and off what they are good at, with very few seeming to have given it much thought before they were asked.
