I assume you meant this is a rebuttal of the parent comment. It's interesting that it could just as well be seen as confirmation.

Funnely enough I was nodding to parent post until I read your answer and was abit emberrased. I got a bad case of STEM hubris too. The STM can go home though.
How you see it depends on how highly you think of non-STEM work, I guess - but I will say anecdotally that the folks who were good at math/science when I was in school also seemed to be solidly above average at English.
Couldn’t you just as well say that the people who were above average at English were good at science/math?
It didn't seem to go the other way. Lots of folks were passable writers but terrible at the other subjects.
