"Interesting Questions"
1. It depends. If an analytic individual will work in a group, then he should not. An ideal group is composed of at least one superior of each trade. However, if his role is to measure, then he should focus on that.
2. Not if the analytic person is creative. They were odd kids? That does not matter. What matters is the present. In the assumption that they are not creative, then yes. They can not create their own product.
3. I was unable to understand this one.
4. They should be, of course. Search this: Mathematics major in Actuarial Science.
