Thus , '' program writing '' were a key activity in this area and '' being detached type personality with relative to test group at the same age & education '' with related to this type of working condition were significant fact. Question 1 : What is the percentace of ''job titles'' that emphasize '' programming '' in Information Technology sector today ? Question 2 : since , program with modular design , using components from other software companies , software reuse , standards / protocols that a programmer must know & obey increased , instead of ''programming ( in a sense satisfiying single users needs ) '' evolved procedures of Software Engineering ( satisfiying needs of multiple users ) etc has chanced the '' programming'' job is personality profile of programmer has changed also ? question 3 : does anyone remember reliable reference on personality tendencies of programmer in mid 1990's ? sincerely , Umit Karakas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
