Yup, agreed that no one is exclusively emotional or analytical - this is a spectrum.

and I made sure in the post above to emphasize that we should keep the current EA outreach oriented toward the head, but also enrich it with an orientation toward the heart. Let's be real, people who are really emotionally oriented will still not care much about EA. But we can reach much further on the spectrum of the analytical/emotional toward emotional than we are currently doing.
