Im more interested in concepts of strategy, the bigger picture, etc. I don't know whether that is more quant or qual. One thing I pride myself on is not succumbing to cognitive biases.

INTJ Myers Briggs type.

I don't know what a Myers Briggs test is but I took once took one of those tests that's supposed to predict what you should do with your career. Questions like "Do you like to work outdoors" or "Do you like to work with numbers". I remember my results as #3 - lawyer, #2 - doctor, #1 - park ranger. Figure that the fuck out?

In high school, I won those "Mathletes" competitions for all grade levels a few years in a row-- not really due to any innate mathematical talent, but really just an OCD ability to lock into problems and solve them systematically. At the same time, I'm one of the biggest art-farts you'll ever meet. I think composing music really offers me the ideal balance between analytical thinking and intuition. I use techniques that might seem incredibly technical and tiresome to most (right now I'm writing a piece of music that has a section containing all possible all-interval tetrachords bootstapped together in dyads-- it took me weeks to figure out how), but I use artistic intuition to figure out how to form the "raw material" into gestures that are musically meaningful. Or I have an idea for some broad artistic effect, and then have to figure out what techniques I can use to realize it-- basically, a flash of inspiration becomes an exercise in problem-solving.

I thought they were all being dragged to Paul Wilmott's Quant Rehabilitation Camp.
