...MBTI. And the answer is: you need both (technically, all 16). I'm an INTJ. I do INTJ work. Put me on a job where an ISTJ would excel and I probably won't last the rest of the month... and vice versa.
I was a Math major back in the day (though I regret not doing Physics or EE instead). The biggest things that I wish I were told were these:
1) You don't STUDY math and physics. You PRACTICE math and physics.
2) Don't worry about not knowing something. The next chapter is nothing if not examples of this chapter (this is especially true for Physics; this is also a better way of saying-- this chapter is a prerequisite for the next). Sadly, weekly tests DESTROY the ability for people to learn correctly in this model.
3) Your math teacher isn't rain man, s/he just did the work ahead of time. Most of the time you don't hope for an insight, but just recall a similar problem. Thus, again, you PRACTICE math... get the ninja skills going.
4) Reach the pareto point (80/20) as fast as possible, then hammer on that last bit as hard as you can. The next 5% is what's separating you from your peers. Of course, another 5% you are in the masters program. The next 5%, doctoral. The last 3% is post doc. The last 2% will be for a future generations.
...skip the user altogether. If you just have some data gathered and give a simple code, then the user can just provide the code.
From QA? Demand a fiddler log/core dump. One time I worked at a company where this was standard... then the product team started to do QA as well (just for micromanagement). They refused to give fiddler logs. The problem was NOT fixable without their parameters... So... Though all my Senior-level associates agreed with me, the product team removed me from the project for not being able to do MAGIC.
Need that info!
...then express the problems with it. True Anti-Android people show more apathy than anything. I love iOS, THEREFORE I complain about resolution fragmentation (and the lack of 16:9!) I love Google, THEREFORE I complain that they robbed me of Reader, Talk, and Latitude. I love Android, THEREFORE I hate love-child, impure devices that aren't pure.
I'm about as surprised to find out this was still around as I was last week when I found out SVN still existed.
Don't tell me ColdFusion is still on the market...
A lot (most?) people use those as code backup-- like G+ for photo storage. The private repo is a good idea; I might convert my 20+ private reops to it.
Advanced Math trains your brain to be more awesome. I was a math major in college. I find that it trains people to engage in higher-level, abstract thought, which is what a lot of architecture is about. If you just want to build stuff, physics was the way to go.
There's never any reason to waste your brain on a CS degree, though. Good schools require that you master the programming languages before you show-up to the first class-- and if you can do that, just buy the books and learn on your own anyways! You'll then be prepared to keep up with the floods of stuff you need to learn in your career!

In the past 10 years how many CS graduated did you have to fire/have had fired because of their inability to learn something new? (i.e. because they need classes to hold their hands).
Parent's shouldn't push their kids into a field about which the kids have no passion.

The 3rd Doctor is my second favorite for sure, mainly because of the age (the 1st Doctor being my favorite, since I'm most like him)..
He's a prequel incarnation, who isn't even properly "The Doctor". Dude, you even watch that episode?
Absolutely agreed.
I can honestly say that I came here to say this!

This is my exact experience as well.

Title fail: You spelled Hype wrong.
This is a VERY good idea!
