From the article:
> It is impossible and unfair to describe mathematicians as a type.
This is so true! Back then in school, I attended lots of Mathematical Olympiads and I came to know all different kinds of characters. Even in the higher ranks, closer the the IMO (http://www.imo-official.org/ http://www.imo-official.org/), there was no single kind of character dominating.
We all were so different from each other that I finally gave up using the word "mathematician" to describe anything but the plain interest in math.
