Works well with people
The author is clueless about the general composition of IT. There's an inordinate concentration of introverts and near-autistic personality types who are attracted by the attention to non-social and things-centric activity. I have encountered countless individuals who claim they are not "people persons" and will declaim that loudly in front of others and wear it as a badge of honor! We encourage this type of behavior because we bestow honors and accolades and promotions on those IT superheroes by not working with others to solve problems but performing some outrageous and single-minded act to save the day.
