<p>Being quantitative and analytical is key for most major C-level positions.</p>
<p>But this is changing… There is a good TED talk about this from Ken Robinson:

becuase the guy who was responding to me thinks that greek literature is important in life and posted a greek statement, so I wanted to post one too!</p>
<p>I wish I have never found this thread or at least found it sooner…</p>
<p>A lot of people here have used rather myopic arguments to support their biases. I would’ve had quite a field day contesting these points, but I doubt any of you is interested at this point. </p>
<p>To put the matter shortly, sciences and humanities demand the same level of intelligence and creativity to succeed in (provided, of course, we compare corresponding levels of success in different fields). Furthermore, sciences do not contribute to our world more than humanities. Neither of these statements is a compromise to make us all happy. I doubt that any of you can disprove them, seeing as I haven’t seen any remotely convincing argument against my stance. </p>
<p>I apologize for reviving the thread. I found it via Google and couldn’t help commenting since it never came to a satisfactory conclusion for me.</p>
<p>Lol, I’m interesting this way. I’m strong in science (especially biology and biochemistry) and English/philosophy, and ok but not as strong in math and foreign languages (I have the memory of a 2-year-old). People look at me like I’m from outer space. Go figure!</p>
<p>
I’m sorry, but this isn’t at all true. Unless you have evidence to prove this, you can’t just make a statement like this that goes against common sense.</p>
<p>To be a great mathematician, you need to think very logically. Mathematicians are very intelligent people, and I value them over those in the humanities. The guys in humanities might be good at what they do, but math and science take a lot more intelligence as those are considered “harder.” I’d find it much more difficult to study, say, theoretical physics over something like geography.</p>
<p>Man, I hate when people bump debate threads and then add nothing.</p>
<p>Agree. Thread closed.</p>
