On Tuesdays, I write about the top voted question on Ask Berkun (see the lovely archive ). This week’s question came via email from Pavel Pavia [43 votes]: Are engineers more creative than designers? Both answers (“Yes they are!” and “No they are not!”) are naive. It’s foolish to compare massive groups of people against each other especially around a sloppy word like creativity.
