Things, People, Ideas

We tend to major in one of these categories and minor in another, neglecting the third.  I am an ideas and people person - or the other way around.  I am less interested in things and less good with them.

That this has a heritable component is hardly surprising: we tend to go into fields we are good at. A northern European study looks at choice of fields by individuals. Genetic Associations with Educational Fields. Yes there is a sex difference, but that is not the only thing happening.
