    I like both (hence my vote), but I'm more a logical kind of guy. I've barely ever written poetry, but I'm great in maths...

    "science and newspaper political-ish person"

    science will someday explain everything, and I would surely like to be part of it

    Don't like either.

    The two are not mutually exclusive. Science can both be profoundly beautiful and require a lot of creativity to succeed in, whilst on the other hand I do not subscribe to the notion that if you can explain logically why a work of art is beautiful, it instantly loses its artistic value.

    Then again, I am a lot better at the logical stuff than the creative, so it could be that I just never got the point of the art in the first place.

    Im logic all the way, Maths and Science is my thing, i enjoy them and they fascinate me, but art means barely anything to me, i don't honestly ever remember drawing or colouring, i still have a tin full of crayons that look unused so i think i really did skip any kind of drawing and saw art as a crappy subject which i disliked, though it was fairly easy going i just can't draw to save my life, im probably as skilled as your average 10 year old when it comes to drawing....

    TBH i think its hard wired into me, i pretty much think everything through logically...

    I have a great appreciation for both. I love geology and astronomy, but I also enjoy me some poetry and art as well. And as PBI pointed out the two aren't mutually exclusive in any case.

    Agreed.

    I'm equal on both, and I love both aspects. A world without the other would be unbalanced.

    Actually I can't stand art and poetry. I do, though, enjoy music, and at times, the lyrics too. Reading about science does not interest as much as it used to; but I like to understand how things work; or at least to try to.

    I am an award winning designer and an excellent artist but at the same time I love politics and science. I think the attention I give to current events and the sciences keeps my ‘designer’s eye’ sharp.

    To focus it a little more, I have found that most people are either artistic or musical. I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket but I could draw a bucket filled with tunes.

    and if you dont think that cogitive psychology has no science in it your mistaken, parts of it focus on how the mind works, scientific enough to me

    I prefer a nice blend of both, actually. However, I am biased for the scinces and disaprove of the final response, so Ill choose the second one.
