I'm a Rook: the base, strength, and backbone behind the operation.
I was appointed Chief Research Chemist of a subsidiary of Dow Chemical and soon was disappointed that the leadership time took away from my research and I hated hiring and firing.
So I'm NOT the King.
In my two careers, I wasn't the most powerful, so I'm NOT the Queen.
I was never the most flashy so I'm not the Knight.
I was never the most dogmatic, always looking for practicality first, so I'm not the Bishop.
Not bragging, but I excelled in what I did, meaning I had stronger abilities than most: I rose from new hire to Chief Chemist in 3 years based on my success ratio in bringing products to the plant. I retired as a teacher where my superior's evaluation of all 6 main areas of teaching and 35 of 36 subareas were 1's - on a scale of 1 to 5. The 36th area was marked "not applicable." I was a rock for the administration and had my bosses backs, whether in industry or education: I knew that an organization doesn't succeed unless all the oars are pulling in the same direction. When there was an emergency, i volunteered to handle it.
I think that fits a Rook: often the piece that's not checkmating but demonstrating its power by backing up the checkmate or sacrificing itself to open up a hole.

Sure. I've always loved doing a self-evaluation after I reached a point in life where I realized trying to be objective was more rewarding in terms of self-improvement than the many who think their feces doesn't stink! It helps to go out of your way every once in a while to remind yourself where you fit in!

Doesn't the term "Rook" also have another meaning. Like to rip somebody off?

pawn, underestimated...until i get the king in checkmate. the boss promoted me, now 3 lightsquared bishops are on board.! an often overlooked variation . forking 2 rooks.
I'm a knight on a3. Rarely useful and mostly awkward.
