They're more likely to get into social games/'wit' and humor and all that than engineers and whatnot. the stereotype is engineers are booooring lolol.

I can't visualise anything like that, my mind's eye is very, very limited. Everything in my head gets done, sometimes frustratingly, in sound only. I'd love to be able to see things like that, it sounds really neat.

When I think up an interesting idea for a story, my brain already has everything worked out. It sorts out the entire story as if in film form, and plays scenes from it over and over in my head. However, I find writing this down such a tedious and slow progress that I usually give up on projects halfway through out of sheer boredom. I considered using an audio capture device to speak it out, but I've never got round to it.

I tend to do that with stories. Either I just stop because I come to realize it's too dramatic(I fail at covering serious issues without it becoming some sort of comedy because it's so dramatic... like the Dazz adverts), or some other thing to persuade me it's not worth the bother.
I've considered recording them but I wouldn't want to do that because 1, I'd hate my parents to listen to my stories, and 2 I type faster than I speak and can get out my point in writing as opposed to saying it(I don't know why).

I can make music, lyrics, videos, effects, pictures, etc. in my head. I can also design stuff like cars.

Wow. That's cool. I can write down sentences and remember them, but not entire stories.
I can also code in my head and view the output, but I can't remember the whole code, just the basic structure.

I can do this, too.
