To be in the top 5% in a field is not easy; to be in the top 20% in a field is relatively simple.
Pi people are not aliens, in fact, this is one of the most respected concepts in the book "Cross Ability to Win".

"π" literally means that in addition to vertical extension, it also has a horizontal direction.

"Pi-type people" refer to people who, in addition to delving into a single field of expertise (I-type people), are also good at cross-field level thinking and solving problems by combining different majors.


【Cultivation of π-type people】

After watching Cross Energy Winning, I think one of the good personal development strategies is to first study in a specific field, have a certain professional and complete thinking structure, and then start to extend outward based on the original knowledge. study in different fields.

In doing so, we are able to see what other people have seen from a completely different perspective, and have a better chance of sparking new insights to solve old problems.

The outstanding Bell Labs in the United States also advocates that researchers in different fields discuss research from different perspectives to avoid a single blind spot.


[Advantages and Disadvantages of Pi-type People]

To be in the top 5% in a field is not easy; to be in the top 20% in a field is relatively simple.

If you can be in the top 20% of people in both fields at the same time, then you will be the only 5% of people in the world who have both majors.

Interestingly, Nobel Prize winners are 22 times more likely to have amateur interests or other majors than the average scholar. This is not the same as the scientists we imagined at first.

However, to become a π-type person, it is bound to be harder than those who only specialize in a single field. You must learn knowledge in multiple fields at the same time, and you must also practice constantly switching thinking modes to find the best solution to the problem.
