The only difference is that the Fine-Arts Majors are ruled by their
emotions, and the Engineers ("techies," but I call them Engineers) are ruled
by their intellects.

I noticed these two extremes of human behavior long ago and they are
interesting.  I'm not the first to notice, of course.

FAMs will do things because they feel good; Engineers will do things because
they make sense.

Engineers are usually smarter than FAMs; FAMs are sometimes more talented
than Engineers.  However, in all cases, being in one category or the other
depends on the extent to which a person's behavior is controlled by his
emotions or his intellect.  Smart people tend to rely on intellect; dumb
people tend to rely on emotion.  Some people are smart but with strong
emotions, and end up as FAMs despite their intelligence.  Some Engineers are
not the brightest people around but are so lacking in emotion that they end
up on the Engineer side despite their lack of any particular genius.
