There are relatively few people who are equally well versed in humanitarian and technical issues. As a rule, some people find it easier to learn about history and philosophy, while others find physics and mathematics easier. What is the difference in thinking between these types of people?
What are the features of thinking in the humanities
One person can write good prose, poetry, draw beautifully, but to understand the structure of even a relatively simple device is a difficult task for him. And the other, with all the desire, does not rhyme a couple of lines, but with the technique "on you". This is understandable and natural, because one of them is a “humanist”, and the other is a “techie”.
A person of a humanitarian mindset, when considering a question, a phenomenon, basically pays attention to the most memorable, striking signs. He is capable of logical thinking, but up to a certain limit. When memorizing some new information, the humanist uses features such as overlap in several of the most significant characteristics, and sometimes just one of the most characteristic features. The humanities, as a rule, classify secondary signs as insignificant trifles, and therefore do not pay them due attention.
That is why it is difficult for a clearly expressed humanities to achieve success in such purely technical disciplines, for example, such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, etc. After all, there it is necessary to carefully consider absolutely all known information, down to the most insignificant.
How a "techie" man thinks
For a pronounced "techie" the very idea that you can ignore some information, simply because it is not too significant, is almost impossible. Of course, a person with a technical mindset also knows how to distinguish the main from the secondary, but he considers and takes into account absolutely everything, down to the smallest detail. Trying to understand something new or remember some information, the "techie" cannot limit himself to a formal coincidence of some of the most significant features, as a humanist would do. He will definitely check whether the secondary signs are the same, and only after that he will remember the information or draw a conclusion. One single fact, a sign that stands out from the general row, will force the techie to re-check and think about everything.
The techie may seem too meticulous, slow (especially from the point of view of the humanities). But this is just a natural consequence of the peculiarities of his thinking and behavior.
Therefore, the eternal dispute over who is more important - "physicists" or "lyricists" (that is, techies and humanities) does not make sense. Both are equally important in life.
