Quote from derg:

A number of things.

The ability to grasp complex mathematical concepts and data quickly and easily.

The tendency to think in terms of style more than substance and viewing knowledge qualitatively more than quantitatively.

Organizational skills.

Being motivated more by mental challenges than by greed, allowing detachment from emotions associated with greed.

The need to have a deep connection to the world of technology and energy.
