I won't guess where I am on any spectrum but from hiring and working with many people over many years, there certainly is a range. One thing I noticed is that about one person in twenty has a overall intelligence that just 'gets it' for lack of better word. They might be really good in one profession but can see how everything fits together. These are the guys that can be two or three times as productive as you average guy and generally they have the right answer. They typically know it as well.
