Mumford comments on the experiment done on beauty of math

http://www.dam.brown.edu/people/mumford/blog/2015/MathBeautyBrain.html

It seems to me that Mumford has been interested in the “type"s of mathematicians for a long time, which can also be shown in his other articles. In this particular one he provides the reader with a taxonomy, probably a Jungian one of mathematicians, or of beauties of math(explorers, wrestlers, detectives, alchemists, there are also sub-types). Allegedly different parts of brain areas are activated.
Could this be a (metaphorical) guide for those who are newbie to math and logic in forming their own character? I doubt that, and I have not learned whether set theory (especially zfc), the so called "the foundation of math”( but not the only one ), could prove anything other than trivial and anything that makes one a miner,etc. But, of course, I would have to finish the first-order logic in the following month to make any sensible comment.
