What kind of personality fits with a computer science career?

<p>I already posted a similar question, but I thought this part of it deserved its own thread…what kind of person is right for a computer science career?</p>

<p>I currently don’t know much about computer programming or anything, but I learn quickly. I’m creative, logical, detail-oriented, and I like to get things done efficiently. I’m fairly smart and kind of nerdy but I still like being with people and working as a team. My weakness is occasional laziness and procrastination; also I can get distracted very easily. Am I cut out to work with computers?</p>

<p>Yeah that’s a good personality to have to be a computer guy, except for maybe the procrastination and distracted parts. </p>

<p>The lazy part can actually be a plus: see [Larry</a> Wall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“Larry Wall - Wikipedia”>Larry Wall - Wikipedia)</p>
