in reply to (OT) The Honest Cherry Bomb

There is a reason why "IT Folks" are good with computers, on average they spent more of their time developing technical skills rather than people skills.

Additionally, technical people tend to approach issues as problems with solutions.

Non-technical folks tend to see things as more open to interpretation and often would rather not hear that they have a 'problem' ;-)

    And why is that true? Because they were inclined to spend more of their time developing technical skills. People tend to focus on those things that they are already good at. We would all be better off if we learned to focus more on our weaknesses.

      I think the real answer is that people tend to focus on the things they enjoy or find easy to accomplish and these are what they become good at.

      I agree a certain awarness of the areas where one can improve is extremely beneficial.
