What's common about the hackers?

Are they all nerds? Dont they have life beyond computers. Ofcourse generlisations are for the noobs, but there still will be lot of "commons".

1. One thing i noticed common among lot of hackers is that they all have profound views about things sorrounding them, but they never let it out.

> "commons"

I'm not sure if you were looking for help on this one, but "similarities" is the word most Americans would use.

Hackers don't accept the reality they're presented with. They learn how to change it.

"profound views but never let it out" - sounds like an intp to me (http://www.intp.org/faq.html). there's a chance there's a lot of intps around these places. intps like to hack, i know i do. probably some intjs as well - they get more stuff done. being business and such, there's probably some entjs around here too - who wouldn't fit that description at all. sprinkles of other types is my guess, but im guessing a lot of 'engineering' and 'executive' types.
