Inquisitive - they seek to uncover the fundamental structures of the universe.
Logical - they are the foremost exhibitors of precision in thought and language.
Preoccupied - they retreat quite often into the world of books and emerge only when physical needs become imperative.
Complex - they prize intelligence, and seem constantly on the lookout for the technological principles and natural laws upon which the real world is structured.
