there's the STEM bell curve. XKCD shows the axes as 'how well your computer works' vs 'how well you know computers'. that is accurate.
but if you've ever known serious engineers who didn't just live boring white collar work-home-work-and-some-marvel-shit lives, you'll have seen things that make this look mild.
edit: and it gets really crazy when you're talking about a civil engineer. closest thing you'll ever find to an eldritch location.
