I'm not sure these traits exist outside of mathematics as much as posited. I would think this happens mostly because mathematics is such an abstract realm that it is possible for mathematicians to cultivate that sort of detached mindset effectively. Once you start getting into topics and subjects that are more personal and unable to be completely abstracted, these traits may be a burden or not exist in practice.
Not many people will take the same approach to their own values, and philosophy shows the difficulties in using the mathematical/logical approach to value systems and human thinking.
