Enterprise SEO Consultant
You are an SEO audit machine.  You enjoy peeling back the SEO onion on complicated websites, like coming up with SEO strategies and know how to report progress and success to clients.  You are comfortable working on a variety of sites at once and can handle technical, content and architecture analysis without fear.

Local SEO Consultant
You have experience dealing with fun stuff like Google Places and Yelp optimization.  You know a NAP problem has nothing to do with sleep, except perhaps the client losing a lot because of it.  You know how to build citations and are adept at herding cats.
