"Among the clearest psychological effects of having many talents are problems of focus. TMAs are drawn in many different and conflicting directions. It is like being an engineer, a lawyer, a cook, a teacher and a musician — all at once, with all of them demanding their share of time and energy. Self-structuring thus becomes a major problem for TMAs. Unable to use themselves well, they usually end up as employees — and resent it. [...] TMAs are powerful people. They are competent in many ways. They tend to be either domineering or overwhelming in relationships with others — only strong people aren't threatened by them. TMAs often develop considerable informal power at work or in groups. At work a strong manager is thus likely to require more submission gestures from a TMA than from others. That invites covert (or overt) retaliation and TMAs often find themselves in conflict with authority."

O que é uma opinião?
Plato distinguished between opinion or common belief (doxa) and
certain knowledge, and that’s still a workable distinction today: unlike
“1+1=2” or “there are no square circles,” an opinion has a degree of
subjectivity and uncertainty to it. But “opinion” ranges from tastes or
preferences, through views about questions that concern most people such
as prudence or politics, to views grounded in technical expertise, such
as legal or scientific opinions.
You can’t really argue about the first kind of opinion. I’d be silly
to insist that you’re wrong to think strawberry ice cream is better than
chocolate. The problem is that sometimes we implicitly seem to take
opinions of the second and even the third sort to be unarguable in the
way questions of taste are. Perhaps that’s one reason (no doubt there
are others) why enthusiastic amateurs think they’re entitled to disagree
with climate scientists and immunologists and have their views
“respected.”
