Scott McCloud in 'Understanding Comics' proposes a similar distinction, but refines it further and ends up with 4 types. It would be interesting to see if his refinements can be empircally validated like this one. Dean Simonton has also looked at this kind of distinction, as have others. I wouldn't trust the 'young' or 'old' distinction too much though, since the sweet-spot ages for 'conceptual' vs. 'perfectionist' art/science differ by discipline, but yes, the former does peak earlier than the latter. But in math or music, conceptual prodigies appear much earlier than in, say, literature. Thanks Kaps, very interesting.

I have felt the same "recognition" as you did while reading your blog, and indeed, "innovation" (right-brained, presumably) by engineers is what industry is asking for more and more. But my worry is that is might still take a bit of time before people actually figure out how to make money with right-brained thinking (apart from blogs and books, of course), considering Leonardo da Vinci lived 500 years ago...
