And engineers specifically cultivate that. If you ever recommend they try to develop their "soft skills," watch out

As an engineer, I'm an extrovert around other nerds (of various stripes) and an introvert around others. I mean what are we going to talk about? How you took 8 hours to make a PowerPoint for your new ad slogan? Politics? Gross. Better to stay in my own head at that point.
