Credit where credit is due dept:  this is not my idea. Originally from a woman at my church, my wife taught Sunday School with her for a number of years. So Connie, i herby give u credit for noticing and describing the principle. I have decided its time to lay it out for the world to see and acknowledge, to name it and “scale” it, so those inclined may find themselves a spot in it.

The idea is this: us menfolk tend towards either technical skills and preferences, or sports skills and preferences.  By sports i mean a physical, coordination requiring activity such as, but not limited to: football, basketball, tennis, hockey. Etc.

So here’s my “Tech – Sport continium”. The center of the scale is M – for median. This would b someone who is evenly divided technically / sports sense. (Not sure if there r actually any people out there that would fit this spot on the scale. Just in case we will assume there should b.) So now your engineer types might be T+8 or T+9, a hard core programmer geek a T+10. While your pro football and hockey players might be S+9 or S+10. It seems to me it is rare for most techs to b really into sports. This is where i place myself. I also see that many sports types might have trouble wiring a light switch. Thats ok. I can wire a house but u can’t depend on me to consistently catch a ball thrown my way or shoot a great swoosh and “snap the cords”.
Both types can b taught the other end of the continium. We r just talking about the internal gift the person carries.
I have tried not to b negative in any way. There is no zero just a theoretical medium. Both sides of the scale are positives. We need warriors and builders, coders and quarterbacks to make the world go round. Any thoughts?
