Don't beat yourself up about it. What's so bad about guessing that you're an engineer?

Nothing at all. It's just weird to be so easily read. Should I be able tell an accountant when I see one?

Yeah, it's weird. For all our ideas of individuality and being unique there are an awful lot of things about us that broadcast all sorts of unintended information. Or maybe the guy just knows a lot of engineers.

There's nothing weird about this at all. People always figure out within the first 30 seconds that I star in pornographic films.

If it happens a lot then, yes, you are easy to read.

There is nothing inherently wrong with that...likely to be a very open, honest person.

Hence, why I am not easy to read.

It was probably your shirt that read "There are 10 types of people in this world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't."
