That was all I was getting at, really.

I don't think that a profession and an ability go hand in hand solely by their relationship to each other. So to say that because Mr. Johnson is an astronaut he is automatically calm in high pressure situations, or because Mr. Anderson is a professional sports player he is automatically aggressive is an inaccurate statement. That strikes me as type-casting and too much of a generalization to do much good for anyone in forming an objective opinion on something - especially if you're judging Mr. Anderson or Mr. Johnson on their ability to do their job based on the criteria for evaluating the opposite man's skills.


Mr. Johnson may have chosen to become an astronaut in part because of his ability to remain calm under pressure, just as Mr. Anderson may have chosen professional athletics due to an aggressive nature...but neither on is guaranteed solely by their choice of career path.
