You can divide people int two types technical and non-technical. In general these relate to logical and arty but there is a third type of person who is neither.
Most people posting, or even just viewing ETO would almost certainly be categorized as technical/logical and there are no end of people, especially female who could be categorized as arty. To me the arty side is a mysterious world and the most glaring example of this was a female industrial artist that we had at work. She could do a caricature of someone in ten minutes and it exactly captured the essence of that persons face. And she did the most fantastically realistic images of mobile radar systems for proposals, just from the engineers descriptions and a few pictures of porta cabins, generators and antennas. and if you wanted a radar operator sitting in front of a display, you could have any type you wanted
But the most mysterious people to me are neither technical or arty. I just could not understand what made them tick, but then I found out:
I have had a few 'laboring' part time or holiday jobs: farm laborer, metal polisher.. But it was farm laboring that brought me closely into contact with the third type of person. For about four weeks during school summer holiday I used to work on farms helping to reap the harvest, mainly grain and straw. It was start at 7:30 am and finish anytime between 6 pm and 10 pm, seven days a week. You had a half hour break for lunch and that was it. Then it was a four mile ride home, have some supper and off stagger off to bed, completely knackered. Then the alarm went and it was time to get up and and back to the farm.
It was a different life and during that four week period I had not a single technical thought and at one instance I had to work out a percentage to do with pay from the farmer and, do you know, I couldn't do it without a struggle.
