My ex-husband used to say that the personality profile of a cop is pretty much the same as the personality profile of a criminal - they just express it in different ways. I would agree that there are overlapping character traits.
I think it's all part of the eternal balance between order and chaos. As an adult, one gets to choose - every minute of the day - which one prefers at any given time. I'm the kind of person who in many ways prefers chaos - it's seductive - but order is much better for me.
