Eli Wallace is of course not a scientist/engineer. That's three then.

Originally posted by Artemis-Neith View PostNa, don't think so. Don't know what scientists you have in mind, but most I've met (a lot of different faculties) are quite normal, nice people. Only a very few are more "complicated", like Rush, for example. But from my point of view someone like him is rare in normal life. Though those scientists exists in all faculties. Most departments "own" maybe one of those, but really, often it's possible to avoid them. Bad if it's your director, or professor, than you don't have a chance, you have to deal with him or her.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. But that's maybe not exclusive for scientists.
Although think about the situation onboard Destiny, there are only people with higher education, and some soldiers, all of them have learned to deal with each other after one year. And, nobody has to "filling out forms and arranging new staff and the like". And who would like to do such stuff by choise?

On a serious note, many of those whose careers have led them into technical roles which require precision, repetition and fine detail are there because of their inherent tendencies for those facets. Which often result from an ASQ which is at the higher end of the scale. I work in an office of such people. Cliches typically form because of observed facts: there really are many "nerds" in science/technology because certain psychological traits produce both those who have an aptitude for the skills and incidentally a limited social breadth. However, as in all good "rules", reams of counter-examples.

I'm a scientist, and I assure you, you have to be able to communicate and interact with people to do science. While the sciences do have their share of odd ducks, the vast majority of scientists do perfectly well in social settings. Science isn't very similar to how it is portrayed in the popular media; almost all science is collaborative in nature, requiring teams of people working together, and requiring communication of your results to peers and to granting agencies.sigpic

also a your a biologist right? I'm talking mainly about physicists, I'd imagine it's a different mind set for such different fields
