        No. Weak interpersonal and social skills are not a prerequisite to be a coder.

          I think coders generally have weak interpersonal skills, especially compared to developers.

              Some people have begun separating the different types of intelligences in order to classify skill sets. Some are high in one, low in another, but being high in engineering or math intelligence does not necessarily preclude being high in interpersonal intelligence. Everyone can have different levels of skills in each. Facets of intelligence: •Math •Engineering •Interpersonal •Sensual •Verbal •Creative •Intrapersonal •Kinesthetic from: http://www.creativitybootcamp.com/resources.htm[^] _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                  No, but, spending hours with your face stuck in a screen, and your head filled with algorithms, cases, and logic makes you: 1) Out of practice socialy. 2) Unable to deal with the illogicity of hamanity. Personally, I am only in it for the money, so I dont give a shit about most of the stuff nerdy copmputer types do. Which means I have a normal social life. Nunc est bibendum

                    I'm guessing you're still trying to rationalize your computer time to your wife. There's nothing innately unsocial about programmers. It's simply a matter of time practicing the art of conversation. If you're mated to your chair and don't get out to talk with others, then yes you'll have a problem socially.

                            A coder could be replaced by a trained monkey and, other than for a profusion of banana skins in the vicinity of the PC, no one would notice. A developer can solve real problems.
