  Interestingly, the psychometric profiles for music and engineering share quite a few characteristics. It's common for engineers to be polymaths, esp with music.

    Computer engineer here (not to be confused with CS or EE!)... and your statement is dead on! Especially the polymath part... I'm a bit of an ambidextrous drummer who can play in any time signature - was pro up until last June (to work on my startup)! I haven't played since but I sense a strong correlation between my drumming skills and ability to think in patterns (as is required for computer/algorithm related work of course)... perhaps I should get back on the set. It may stir up the creative juices again.
