"The world of problem solvers is made up of depth people and breadth people. Depth people choose fewer lanes but make it their mission to know everything they can about the topic and execute it to near-perfection sometimes digging past the boundaries of whats known. Their greatest weakness is that they get narrowly stuck in local maximas. Breadth people are good at swiftly solving the first 80% of a problem but rarely have the patience to do the last 20%. They are excellent pattern matchers and big picture system thinkers so their contributions come from creating connections between things."
