That's what they teach about stereotypes
I would never mark you as an Engineer.
Why? Very simple. I have yet to find a lady as illogical and unable to follow any logical steps/directions (completely non-engineering mind) as my wife. However, if we are facing a task, she would do the research and know ahead of an appointment almost everything. People on the delivering end are taken aback by her knowledge of the subject and sometimes feel uncomfortable because she knows more than they do. Sometimes I have to lightly poke her in ribs and mouse: stop stealing their bread. Let them feel they earn it. Don't rob them. Just keep quite and let them do the necessary talking. We can ask all the questions later.
