The mindset of people in various disciplines might be characterised by the dominant dimensionality of thought needed to perform their work. Thus for example, computer programmers typically need to think in one dimensional character strings. Engineers and architects are inclined to reduce everything to two dimensional drawings. Sculptors and surgeons need to think in three dimensions. Four dimensions are the domain of dancers.
