True. Also I want to point out some basic math, if the traits are independent, the odds of finding a person who is more of each of those traits than average i.e. > 5 / 10 on each is 1/2^8
So roughly 1/256 people will have all of those traits more than average. This on top of hopefully being able to program.

- carapace 8y agoWith respect, you are mathing worng: those traits would hardly be independent variables. eh?
- alexandercrohde 8y agoNot matching wrong. I stated that was the math for the premise of independent. Am I psychologizing wrong, well I don't know. Depending on the psychology research (which doesn't exist as far as I know) the odds could be much higher or much lower.

Curious, creative, and sees the big picture are clearly correlated, as are communicates well, humble, and teaches others, as are honest and brave. There may even be correlations between the three groups.
