Absolutely: Architects vs Builders Project Managers vs Project Engineers Planners vs Doers

I used to think it was just an experience/wisdom thing - e.g.: when you're younger, you tend to be biased to action, builder/doer mindset, "what and how", "fact-based". Then as you become more experienced, you tend to plan more, focus on the bigger picture eg: "why and when", "story-based"

But the longer I've been around, I now see that people are just all wired differently.

The Myers Briggs test[1] is an interesting exercise to identify these traits (and a lot more).

I've done it multiple times over the years and while I'm certain I didn't use the exact same answers each time, the results always converge on the same personality type.
