I heard something that caused me to create this discussion....
Do you believe that mathematicians (or any majors which are dealt with mathematics) are dry, cold fish, serious and introverted people!!? why?
Do you think that we can judge a part of people's personality according to their major?
Many of my close friends at university were physicists. Not mathematicians but pretty close. And they were all lunatics. The mathematicians I knew were all pretty outgoing as well. So no, this is not my experience at all. I am reminded of a joke though, related to this subject.
How do you know when you've met an outgoing mathematician?
They stare at your shoes instead of their own.
In the case of mathematics--university-level mathematics, not accounting or arithmetic--I think we can guess at an association with personality. It is not so much that mathematicians are cold or dry, it's that they are intensely focussed inward.
I actually had a discussion with this once with someone, and dragged out a college yearbook from a year that wasn't ours (so consisted only of strangers). We went through the pictures trying to guess who was a math major, just from the picture. There might have been pictures of 400 students, of whom perhaps 20 were math majors. I picked out about ten people as "looking like math majors." So I missed about ten. Of the ten I picked, about eight actually were math majors, and one was a physicist. Yes, there is a "look" to them.
Maybe our personalities effected by what we study and learn however we can't generalize
I still remember most not all of my math teachers were strict ,coldfish and harsh because of them I hate math and I was very weak at math
