I'm inclined to agree. But therein lies my problem. Everybody can use at least two of those and learn to use at least one more in daily life. Your sociotype (as well as general personality) will determine the kind of mathematician you become and how you approach your work, but I think you can be successful regardless of your sociotype.

I'm stereotyping, but an ESI might push through an impasse through hard work and methodically try all avenues, while an ILE might go to the caffeteria to relax and hope to gain some insights.

They'll both be capable of using logic and intuition in a secluded environment, in slightly different ways. Mathematical intelligence is key.



That reminds me!

What were the SEE mathematicians like? 😮
