Ok. I am going to really piss off some of you. I think that there are two important issues already addressed. First is that engineers are in fact smart enough to properly execute a plan. Second, I think the binary thinking is somewhat relevant. Third, (and I qualify this as someone who has virtually all my and my inlaws family with engineers and actuaries) engineers are often less polished socially.

What do you get? An angry,disconnected competent person. My father is a perfect example. He is too mild mannered to be a terrorist but he has all the qualities.

Sorry to drop the bomb, but I share an office with an engineering firm. They live up to the stereotype daily.

PS - I think this is fascinating by the way.
